To AntiLiar, Johnny_Scootch, et. al.: I periodically go on the Informer website to determine when the next edition of that fine publication comes out. As coincidences have it, the Informer is being published this month, and the magazine is doing a deep dive into Nicole Gentile!!!! So, I guess I will hold off translating "Vita di Capomafia" and wait until I read the Informer this month! I am sure none of us will be disappointed.

Hi all. I would very much like to acquire a translation of Gentile myself. I have a copy in Italian, but I can’t read it - lol. I suppose it wasn’t published in full in the 2020 Informer magazine? If not, is David Critchley the guy to go to? I have his book, but is he a member on this forum? Or is there anyone else I should ask? I would prefer and electronic version to a hard copy.

Thanks all!
In any case, let Maranzano know that we in Chicago will wage war on him and, if necessary, we will also use airplanes. The means are ready

I would be very interested to read the english version digitally. I have looked for it for a long time. If anyone has the pdf, please PM me.

I have an English hard copy that I got from David Critchley years ago. It’s rough (xeroxed and missing several pages) but I really wanted to read that book so it was better than nothing. Not sure if David has a pdf version but it can’t hurt to ask.
