Most people are not prepared to read folklore when they sit down with a collection of short stories set in New York City. But folklore at its finest is what you encounter with great pleasure when you read Tales of Bensonhurst Brooklyn. Matt Cutugno is a master storyteller in the tradition of Raymond Carver, Italo Calvino, and Isaac Bashevis Singer. It is an understatement to say that I admire Cutugno's literary work. I highly recommend this brilliant collection.D.S. Lliterasauthor of Flames and Smoke Visible
