Loose Screws is a collection of sixty-nine amusing, often touching,
anecdotes from the life of a Bronx boy who has lived and traveled
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
daughters (the Princesses), and his serf sons-in-law. Loose Screws
is a unique view of a life through the eyes of the one who lived
it, a kid from the Bronx.
