I was riveted by the film and storytelling. It was as if Mumia was in the room speaking directly to us.""
EDITORIAL REVIEWS ""Christina and the Whitefish is a joy to read. If Bruce Springsteen wrote fiction, it would read a great deal like this."" -Dave Zirin, The Nation (magazine), author of The Kaepernick Effect ""This novel ignites the mind's movie-making machine. Vittoria's attention to detail and character is delicate and intimate. It's a rollicking journey that is at once dark and beautiful, harsh and loving. When I finished and closed the book, it was like walking out of a dark theatre into the light of day, feeling like I was wearing the story, a suit of armor."" -Kathy Kremins, poet, author of The Curve of Things ""The characters of this stunning novel will stay with you... a high-spirited and humorous voyage... the story will give you chills."" -David Swanson, author, journalist, Nobel Peace Prize Nominee ""I love this book. It's hard to let go of the characters... Masterfully delivered with twists and U-turns... Buckle up and hold on tight to arrive at the place called redemption... an intriguingly subversive work."" -Paul Rabinowitz, author, founder of ARTS By The People ""Brutally honest and unexpectedly tender, with characters you root for... This isn't one of those books you bail on - you need to know how it ends. (Never thought I'd say this, but now I need to visit the Jersey shore!)"" -Katy Farzanrad, Executive Producer of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars ""A gifted filmmaker brings his storytelling prowess to the pages of this book... what a dramatic and beautiful journey."" -Sonali Kolhatkar, award-winning journalist, broadcaster, author of Rising Up ""The novel is a tour de force... with finely wrought characterizations. The details of PTSD really resonate. Great that Vittoria emphasized the experiences more than the clinical knowledge. (There's) a deserved film somewhere down the line. -Ken Klonsky, author, editor, Director of Innocence International
