With his mother recently deceased, James, a New York City newspaper reporter, finds himself journeying south to Clayhatchee, Alabama to fulfill a deathbed promise he made to her.Having migrated to Pittsburgh, PA in 1950, James' mother, Elaine, had not stepped foot on Clayhatchee soil in decades. Still, her dying wish was to be returned back to the earth in her hometown, like the many generations before her. Although initially reluctant to stay in Clayhatchee for long, James quickly becomes immersed and intertwined in the everyday life of his extended family.

TITLE: I AIN'T DOUBL'IN BACK OR THAT ONE LAST DAY
Growing up in an Italian-American household was special. It was particularly memorable for a boy who was given way too much freedom by his grandparents, Giuseppe and Maria, who treated him like a young Italian prince. There were fun and escapades galore, many of which could have ended in jail time for the young prince and his friends had it not been for sheer luck and Grandma’s influence. Add to the mixture, a slightly gritty, multicultural city on the banks of Lake Erie as well as the chance association with rare and eccentric people, young and old, all who teamed up to make the total experience magical. Memories of those days, long past, unfold taking the reader back to a time when ethnic families welcomed friends to Sunday meals while their kids played outside away from technology occupied instead with breaking windows, setting off incendiary devices, pelting each other with slingshots and formulating gang fights. Mangia e mille grazie!!!

Critics, Ratings, and Society
Critics, Ratings, and Society is the first comprehensive study of the review as social institution. Its theories and data encompass reviews of all types of products--including the arts (e.g. theater, books, and music) and consumer products (e.g. cars, software, and appliances). According to Blank, the core problem of reviews is credibility. Concerns about credibility organize the formulation of reviews and audiences. The connoisseurial-procedural distinction describes the production of credibility and its assessment under different types of rating systems.
