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, and
this time the subject is love. Now, your average goomba may be better known for his
penchant for gold chains and macaroni, but Steve Schirripa
knows there is one driving force in a goomba's life and
that's love?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). In other words, the goomba is
full of love, capice? Recalling stories of his own colorful journey from the
streets of Bensonhurst to the bright lights of Las Vegas and
stardom as Bobby "Bacala" Baccilieri in HBO's hit series The
Sopranos, Schirripa observes the finer points of amore in
all its forms. Take, for instance, the boundaries of
brotherly love: It's okay, he explains, to go to a Mets game
with your buddy but definitely not to a yoga class. Then
there's the tough love of la famiglia. Every goomba is a
family man, after all. So you want him to tell the truth?
Ask him to swear on the heads of his children. Steve also
waxes poetic about romantic love, complete with goomba
dating tips ("Do steal a kiss; don't steal her purse"), what
to look for in a real goomba broad ("Her" She'd go to the
chair for me?), and a list of tender goomba movies (The Way
We Was). Alternately touching, telling, and laugh-out-loud funny, The
Goomba's Book of Love proves that no one loves as fiercely
(or as frequently) as a goomba.
