Dreams of an Imaginary New Yorker Named Rizzoli
Fiction. Italian American Studies. ... Ciabattari brims with brio in this fanciful, cannily humorous look at the jungles of darkest Manhattan. Twenty-one brief 'dreams' or vignettes introduce Rizzoli, a modern Everyman who tries to do his work, retain a shred of dignity, and, maybe, find a little affection. But life is tough in the big city.--Publishers Weekly

Praise for this book
More critical acclaim for Mark Ciabattari
"A paean to the special 'city grace' that prevails amid chaos, Ciabattari's clever and cartoonish novel is a delightful postmodern romp, more Calvino than Kafka."
--Kirkus Reviews
"A delightfully improbable blending of Borges and Woody Allen."
--Booklist
"Rizzoli is an anxious anti-hero . . . an urban everyman. [His] . . . funny, satirical, vignette-like dreams [show] the influence of media on our perception and point to our mediated lives . . ."
--Lynne Tillman, The New York Times Book Review
"With unerring irony, Ciabattari paints a shimmering, disorienting world in which the lines between dreams and reality are systematically skewed."
--Publishers Weekly
