| Summary: | "The Sicilian Cowboys is a road novella set in Canada, southern Italy, and North Africa. Through vernacular speech patterns and narrative monologue, the story follows the life of high school dropouts Bobby Rienzo and his coming to terms with the death of two friends. One died in an accident at work, fuelled by addictions. The other trampled by a wild horse in San Fratellano, Sicily. As the story unfolds, Bobby falls in love with a southern Italian girl, Donina, and is overwhelmed by a series of dreams and nightmares concerning the internment of Italian-Canadians during the Second World War."-- |
