Autumn Fool
"I enjoyed it -- a good read. I was an old-time fan of the A.A.F.C. and Mike Demilio captured it perfectly. Both on a football level and a fiction level, this book gave me many happy moments." -- Paul Zimmerman, Sports Illustrated
A classic American story of optimism, courage and love, Autumn Fool follows Mattia DiCielo from aerial battles over WWII Germany to the brutal gridiron of 1940's professional football. Mattia holds true to his love for Anna as the world burns around him and the mafia pits his own brother against him. Through it all, he never loses his belief in family, love and the American dream.
The Absence of G
“In the best tradition of magical realism, Demilio renders the everyday detail—of his characters’ yearning, love and loss—so gritty and palpable that the magical becomes real, disbelief falls away, and the reader, too, takes flight. More than an unforgettable adventure, The Absence of G is a provocative study of the problems of our time—from political division and carbon footprint, to the perils of celebrity, and the purpose of invention. Physics has never been sexier!” -- Sandra Sobieraj Westfall, People Magazine
