Reviews:
"From the hard, unforgiving soil of Calabria to the congested neighborhood of Pittsburgh’s Bloomfield section, the stories in Catina’s Haircut eloquently present the narrative of the Italian immigrant in America. Corso’s eye is sharp, fiercely honest yet also able to linger over unexpected beauty when it appears in this demanding landscape.”
—Hilary Masters, Carnegie Mellon University
“Catina’s Haircut taps into deep places of storytelling—collective memory and imagination, folklore and social history—to bring together in one book the Fata Morgana, live chickens, the Risorgimento, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.”
—Adria Bernardi, author of Openwork
