West of Rome's two novellas, "My Dog Stupid" and "The Orgy,"
fulfill the promise of their rousing titles. The latter novella
opens with virtuoso description: "His name was Frank Gagliano, and
he did not believe in God. He was that most singular and startling
craftsman of the building trade-a left-handed bricklayer. Like my
father, Frank came from Torcella Peligna, a cliff-hugging town in
the Abruzzi. Lean as a spider, he wore a leather cap and puttees
the year around, and he was so bowlegged a dog could lope between
his knees without touching them."
