Synopsis:
Based on the author's own family experiences, this book begins in the 19th century in a feudal village in Southern Italy, original home of the Talese family. This is the world of Gay Talese's great-grandfather - haunted by the mysticism of the Church, by faded aristocracy, by the aura of Roman triumph tempered by centuries of invasion and occupation. The book then follows the fortunes of Antario, a soldier in World War I, who settles in Paris in the 1920s; of Gaetono, who becomes a stonemason in America; and of Joseph, who sets up as a tailor in New Jersey and finds allegiance divided in World War II. Gay Talese is the author of "Thy Neighbor's Wife", "Honor Thy Father" and "The Kingdom and the Power".
About the Author:
Gay Talese joined the staff of The New York Times in 1955, and remained there for a decade. During the 1960s and 1970s he contributed many articles to magazines, principally Esquire. He is the author of seven previous books, and has been at work on UNTO THE SONS since the spring of 1981, when he travelled to Italy to begin his research. He was born in Ocean City, New Jersey, in 1932, and now lives in New York City and Ocean City with his wife and their daughters.
