Papa and Eva and Me

This book is memoir, full of stories of the author's grandfather, the first American-born child of Italian immigrants, who almost didn’t survive his first day. He became a boxer, opera lover, English professor, psychologist, atheist, staunch Democrat, mentor and an outrageous, argumentative, learned, loving character. He and his beloved Eva both loved to argue, which lent a sometimes exasperating, sometimes humorous touch to many conversations over many cups of coffee.
