The Literal Truth, Paperback/Mark Ciabattari

Fiction. Italian American Studies. In the second collection of vignettes featuring middle-aged New Yorker Rizzoli, Ciabattari skillfully captures the nature of dreams, using a mixture of reality and surrealism to reveal our common fears and desires... The dreams are sometimes poignant, sometimes funny, and sometimes horrifying but always thought-provoking.-- Library Journal
