About the Author
Mario Puzo was born on Manhattan’s West Side in a neighborhood known for decades as
Hell’s Kitchen. His first books,
The Fortunate Pilgrim
(“a minor classic” NY
Times)
and
Dark
Arena,
brought him critical acclaim, but it was publication of
The Godfather
in March 1969, that
catapulted him into the front ranks of American authors. Reviewers hailed the book as “a
staggering triumph”
(Saturday Review),
“big, turbulent, highly entertaining”
(Newsweek),
“remarkable”
(Look),
“a voyeur’s dream, a skillful fantasy of violent personal power” (New
York
Times).
Winning readers by the millions, it stayed at or near the top of the New York
Times
best-seller lists for sixty-nine weeks.
Fools Die,
Mario Puzo’s brilliant new novel about the
feverish world of the big-time gambler, has been hailed as the publishing event of the decade.
