Big Night : A Novel with Recipes

Big Night : A Novel with Recipes

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Big Night was the loveliest cinematic surprise of 1996, a small, delightful comedy about two brothers who hope to turn their new Italian restaurant into a successful business. Joseph Tropiano, who co-wrote the movie, has not written a conventional screenplay or a standard "novelization." Instead, he has turned his story into a compelling novel. Narrated by the brother-protagonists, the book is a wonderful companion to the movie, but also stands beautifully on its own. As a special treat, Tropiano introduces each of the novel's eleven chapters with a recipe for one of the dishes that appears in the movie!

Book Description
Set during the early 1950s, this story of love and linguini, purity and compromise--soon to be a major motion picture from MGM--takes a poignant and pointed look at Old World vs. New World values and provides a rueful assessment of the American Dream. In a New Jersey town, two Italian immigrant brothers stuggle to keep their restaurant afloat. Includes recipes.
