October, 2018, we were treated with our old friend Carol Gino's memoir Me & Mario -- and now from M. J. Moore (author of For Paris ~ With Love & Squalor) we get the biography Mario Puzo: An American Writer's Quest!

This should be a nice complement to Carol's book and I can't wait to read it!

ORDER NOW ON AMAZON

"Backed up by hard facts and filled with behind-the-scenes stories, M. J. Moore's book is a definitive guide for all fans of Mario Puzo who want to know more about his life, work, and personal achievements."
--Carol Gino, author of The Nurse's Story, Rusty's Story, and Me & Mario

"Puzo's fans will appreciate this warm portrait."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Moore begins by recounting Puzo's Hell's Kitchen upbringing, his Army service as a clerk during and after WWII, his persistent money troubles ... and his investigation by the FBI for selling draft deferments. Moore is at his best when using these details ..."
--Publishers Weekly

Is this any good?


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
