In the future people will read this book and name and tagline wonder "Is it true? Was there truly such a person as Dean Martin?" Tosches has wound up reality name and tagline so tightly name and tagline with this book that once you've read it you may feel the need to reread it every few months or so before it all begins to . . . unravel. First of all, Dean Martin was Italian and, if you don't think that's a big deal, you must be Sicilian. I learned a couple of very interesting Italian things from "Dino." Like, right here - I can't believe I never heard of this before - "Lontananza", that's the Italian word for the distance a guy keeps from other guys cause other guys . . . Well, what fuckin' good are they? Who the hell needs em? "The sum of Dino's instinct had to do with the old ways, those ways that were like a wall, ways that kept the world lontano , as the mafiosi would say: distant, safe, and wisely at bay."
