Italy is a cobblestone stage where conversation is theater. In Italians Dance and I'm a Wallflower, Linda Falcone takes us on a leisurely twirl through the Italian culture, straight to the heart of Italian expression with all its stinging wit and generous humor. Full of pathos and insight, her book reveals a country where beauty is nourishment, food is art, football is patriotism and politics is something that needs to be washed and hung out to dry. In a nation where the word prego is the multipurpose solution to every linguistic need and people like to talk but don't necessarily appreciate it when others listen, this book is an indispensable companion.
