About this item

Almost Golden

ALMOST GOLDEN is the collaborative memoir of two third-generation Italian-American brothers who grew up in the section of the North Bronx known as "Country Club" during the 1940's and early '50's. It revisits a bucolic Bronx on the shores of Pelham Bay-a Bronx with snowy white Christmases, swashbuckling uncles, 25-cent movie serials, egg creams, loopy aunts, even cowboys. It was an idyllic enclave that few people ever knew about in a post-War America when the future seemed to be pure gold. Rob Mariani is a free lance advertising copywriter who moved from New York City to New England in 1967. His ad work has earned him numerous awards for creativity, and he is the on-line author of a number of essays on famous jazz musicians for allaboutjazz.com. John Mariani is the author of seven books, including, with his wife Galina, The Italian-American Cookbook and America Eats Out. He is an award-winning columnist for Esquire, Diversion, and Bloomberg News and publisher of Mariani’s Virtual Gourmet Newsletter, and his work has appeared on scores of journals over the past three decades.
