No Steady Job for Papa
New York: Vanguard Press, 1966. hardcover. 8vo 243pp. third printing. from front flap: "It is not that Papa is lazy--he is just not temperamentally equipped for work. His natural ebullience rebels at routine, yearns for the singing breeze of spring. The riches he came from Italy to seek he finds not in America's golden pavements but on a little dirt street in "Filadelfia." Here, with his beautiful Italian wife who never wears shoes and speaks an English uniquely her own, his five daughters, and his wisp of a mother, he lives a life as sparkling as the wine he drinks, as gay as teh native tunes he sings."
