Summary |
"The Archeology of a Good Ragù has a thematic arrangement, with three long chapters: first on finding romance, then on forging integrity, and finally on confronting mortality. An epilogue follows, naturally, brief like the opening section. But the three principal concerns--thoroughly defined in the text--provide solid and coherent building blocks. Each raises an issue closely associated with Naples. As for romance, this is the city of Sophia Loren, after all. Then there's the Camorra, threatening any decent person's efforts to build a life, and then there's the ubiquitous evidence of kingdoms that rose and fell, one after another. Besides their local pertinence, too, each of these themes represents essential learning for a man who's got to pull himself back together. Indeed, though the location's exotic and mysteries abound, ultimately this memoir grapples with a question crucial to any adult, anywhere: where's the good life?"-- Provided by publisher |
