      Attention would-be paesans: Can’t tell “gabagool” from “pasta fazool”? Unsure how to accessorize your tracksuit with gold chains? Steven R. Schirripa, known as Bobby Bacala from The Sopranos, reveals the inner workings of the Italian-American experience in A Goomba’s Guide to Life, helping you navigate life like a true “guy from the neighborhood.” Schirripa shares his journey from Bensonhurst to Vegas, highlighting how his goomba upbringing shaped him. He provides insights on music (Sinatra is a must; Snoop Dogg is not), movies (Raging Bull is a go; Titanic is a no-go), and sports (baseball is essential; golf and tennis, forget it). The guide also covers goomba etiquette, including how to secure the best seat in the house through tipping, jewelry, and a little intimidation. Schirripa offers goomba do’s and don’ts—never criticize a goomba’s mother or her gravy, and always wear more jewelry than you think necessary. Featuring striking photographs of Schirripa and his friends, along with tips on thinking, speaking, cooking, and behaving like a goomba, this guide is perfect for anyone wanting to embrace their inner wiseguy.
