throughout the world. The author, Gerry Tortorelli, is a retired
business executive, who immigrated to Switzerland in his thirties
with his young family. With stints in England and Canada and
frequent visits to the family roots in Italy, his stories explore
many cultures.
Whether it be the story of how his sister celebrates Christmas
in "The Twelve Weeks of Advent," or how German words can be
misinterpreted in English in "A Good Fahrt....and a Douche," the
anecdotes have a personal touch with which the reader can connect.
A 22-year-old grudge is settled in the story "Toothpaste,
Mayonnaise, and Big Ben" while fundraising for a new church in
Canada is detailed in "A Pregnant Nun and a Chicken at Mass."
Not far away from any story, is Gerry's wife (the Queen), his

it, a kid from the Bronx.
Spanning seven decades from his 1940s childhood in Rochester,
New York, to his retirement in Southern California, "Sleeping with
Lumbago" documents the events and experiences of author Sam R.
Culotta's life. He recalls his Catholic school days, his family's
migration west, his teens, his military service, and, most notably,
the dynamics of his Sicilian-American family.
With his signature sardonic wit and good-natured criticism, he
takes on nuns, schoolmates, friends, and neighbors as well as more
than a few professions, religious institutions, social conventions
and, of course, himself. In the story "And Then There Were Two,"
Culotta discusses the unusual and embarrassing discovery made
during a physical exam at his Catholic elementary school when he
was in sixth grade. "Caution: Friends May Be Dangerous to Your
Health" describes a narrow escape from injury, accident, and mayhem
when his buddy Don pulls a dangerous stunt in his 1949 Mercury.
"Sleeping with Lumbago" presents a collection of humorous
personal essays that document the unexceptional life of an
unexceptional man with an exceptional amount of wit and
discontent.

any subject at all including fiction, nonfiction, fantasy or
anything else that could be written about. This book is solely for
