The Mungellos (pronounced mun-JEL-os) were Italian-American
children of Vesuvius. Raffaele was a builder, Marianna was a
businesswoman, Filippo died in a gang murder in Pittsburgh. They
fled the threats of the Black Hand, going to a booming coal-mining
town and opening movie theaters. Dominic graduated from college
during the Great Depression. The shadow of the gang pursued them,
leading to labor disputes and arson which destroyed their new
theater. On the East and West coasts, Evelyn and Marianne had
simultaneous backstreet affairs with powerful and wealthy men.
There was a murder trial for the questionable death of an adopted
son from El Salvador. At Berkeley, David had an adulterous same-sex
love affair with Carl Wittman, a national leader in SDS and Gay
Liberation. Their love affairs projected them up the ladder of
American success as they damned one another to their deaths. This
is a true story.
