Description

West of Rome's two novellas, "My Dog Stupid" and "The Orgy," fulfill the promise of their rousing titles.

The latter novella opens with virtuoso description: "His name was Frank Gagliano, and he did not believe in God.

He was that most singular and startling craftsman of the building trade-a left-handed bricklayer.

Like my father, Frank came from Torcella Peligna, a cliff-hugging town in the Abruzzi.

Lean as a spider, he wore a leather cap and puttees the year around, and he was so bowlegged a dog could lope between his knees without touching them."
