Looking through my bookshelves I came upon this odd volume, written by Giuseppe Prezzolini in 1955. I had no idea that there was enough interest in pasta in the fifties to warrant an entire book. Mr. Prezzolini, it turns out, was a professor at Columbia, and the head of their Casa Italiana. He was also a literary critic, magazine editor, and author of several books. And in good news for spaghetti eaters everywhere, the man lived to be 100.
