Growing up an Italian-American in the Bensonhurst neighbourhood of New York City, Marianna De Marco longed for college, culture and upward mobility. Her daydreams circled around WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) heroes on television - like Robin Hood and the Cartwright family - but in Brooklyn she never encountered any. So she associated moving up with Ocean Parkway, a street that divides the working-class Italian neighbourhood where she was born from the middle-class Jewish neighbourhood into which she married. This book is Torgovnick's account of crossing cultural boundaries in American life, of what it means to be an Italian American woman who became a scholar and literary critic. The book features autobiographical moments interwoven with interpretations of American cultural icons, from Dr Dolittle to Lionel Trilling, "The Godfather" to Camille Paglia. Her experiences allow her to probe the cultural tensions in America caused by competing ideas of individuality and community, upward mobility and ethnic loyalty, acquisitiveness and spirituality.
