Move over Miss Lonelyhearts . . . Steven R. Schirripa, author of
the runaway bestseller A Goomba’s Guide to Life, is
back with more life lessons from the neighborhood. Recalling
stories of his own colorful journey from the streets of Bensonhurst
to the bright lights of Las Vegas and stardom as Bobby
“Bacala” Baccalieri in the HBO hit series The
Sopranos, Schirripa observes the finer points of amore in all
its forms—love for his mother and her Sunday sauce, his wife
and kids, his friends, his goomar on the side, even for his car
(and he better not catch you eating in it, if you know what’s
good for you).
Attention would-be paesans. Can’t distinguish
“gabagool” from “pasta fazool”. Not sure
how to properly accessorize your track suit with gold chains. Does
the phrase “go to the mattresses” make you sleepy.
