[edit] Italian-American
Mario Puzo is an Italian-American and I have updated the article to reflect this fact. If anyone has a problem with this please discuss and don't just delete it like some weasel. Datus (talk) 21:09, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Fortunate Pilgrim
An anonymous contributor (70.107.194.62) added the following to both this article and the article on The Fortunate Pilgrim.
- Until his dying day, he considered The Fortunate Pilgrim (1965) his finest, most poetic and literary work. In one of his last interviews he stated that he was saddened by the fact that The Godfather, a fiction he never lived, outshone the novel of his mother's honest immigrant struggle for respectability in America, and her courage and filial love, as portrayed in The Fortunate Pilgrim. That book, although it won much literary praise from established American novelists, never earned Puzo a living. It was only when he opted for what Hollywood sold well to America, the stereotype of Italian immigrants as mobsters, that Puzo's fame rose to the height of his fortunes as a writer.
The original contribution spanned three paragraphs, but two were removed by other users. The contributor refers to an interview and to literary critics, but offers nothing specific, and much of the contribution is written from a particular and obvious point-of-view.
I will hold off on removing the information and give the contributor a chance to add some sources to the article and to conform to a neutral point-of-view. I'm keeping the tags up until then. 68.9.207.188 19:27, 29 May 2007 (UTC) (Tainted Mustard)
