Tony Ardizzone TAKING IT HOME Stories First edition Baseball Story Paperback

Description: TAKING IT HOME Stories From the Neighborhood by Tony Ardizzone Hubana and Chicago: The University of Illinois Press, (1996). First edition, first printing. Fine in illustrated wraps. Unread! Fine in a fine dust jacket. "Tony Ardizzone's neighborhood is the North Side of Chicago and, more specifically, the Italian Catholic neighborhoods that flourished there. In a dozen highly polished tales, Ardizzone describes a world that revolves around the church, the family, and work, in that order. Ardizzone's characters are no strangers to tragedy, physical violence, or prejudice, but he writes about them from an attitude of affection, not anger or regret. These stories will have an appeal far beyond the 'friendly confines'."--Booklist. Of the twelve stories included, six were previously published in the author's first collection, The Evening News. One story is of baseball interest: "Baseball Fever". FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT BOOKS THANKS! Created by eBay Seller's Assistant Basic.
