Items related to Family Matter: a novel
As the title suggests, Family Matter is a family story, or rather several of them which form the “matter” of which the novel is made. They are primarily episodes about the narrator’s father, hospitalized for surgery when the novel opens. The stories expand in memory to cover the father’s early life in America, and then his origins in Italy where the narrator travels to pursue a secret he hardly knows exists—until, that is, he meets the intriguing Maddalena who, with her teenage daughter, not only lives in the house once belonging to the father’s family, but knows his story and the origin mystery that forms a key part of the tale. In pursuit of these revelations, the narrator upends his life and winds up in Naples as lo scrittore, the formal writer of the family saga presented here.

Review:
Family Matter weaves a colorful tapestry of the inner workings of the Italian family on both sides of the Atlantic, with its aspirations, failures and distinctive mediterranean passion, expressed throughout in bursts of colorful Neapolitan dialect as only an Italian-American writer like DiStasi can recount. There were times in the book when the writing soared and because it meshed so powerfully with the use of Italian and the dialect I understand so well, I found myself having to pause a moment to savor it all."
Anthony Riccio, Italian American author, oral historian, photographer
