Questions for the Author

1) The character Amadeo, as a well-assimilated immigrant, didn't encounter racism from the Italians. Was this true in your experience, as a well-educated and successful immigrant? What has been your experience with racism here in Italy?
2) What is the significance of the elevator? Is it a metaphor for something?
3) Is the book autobiographical? To what extent?
4) What do you think of the movie? Is it an accurate portrayal of the book?
