I am the dean of the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute and Distinguished Professor of European Languages and Literatures. I write about literature, cinema, semiotics, and the Italian diaspora.
Just finished reading Cavallero’s “Television Directors, Race and Gender”, an excellent book indeed!

In Italy, tomorrow is the feast of the Befana. Here, it is the anniversary of the attempt at modern-day insurrection. And Italy’s prime minister Giorgia Meloni visited with Trump last night at Mar-a-lago where they celebrated January 6, 2021! Vattelapesca!

I have no new books to publicize nor do I have any announcement about any accomplishments per se. As one mythical cartoon character used to say’ “i’yam who i’yam!” So, consider this a happy weekend and nothing more!🙃👋

Yeah, things that make you go hmmm…
I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

Mostly white. Mostly male.
Not America as it actually looks.
America as they want it to look.

And so here we are, on a new platform because the other has been totally corrupted by he who wants to be part of the oligarchy that might, alas, befall us, if it hasn't already. I'm looking forward to rigorous and respectful discourse and, as well, fun things to boot!
