Largely autobiographical, Christ in Concrete opens with the dramatic Good Friday collapse of a building under construction, crucifying in concrete an Italian construction worker, whose death leaves his pregnant wife and eight children impoverished. His oldest son, Paul, at just twelve years old, must take over his fathers role--and his job.
Pauls odyssey into manhood begins on the high girders where death is an occupational hazard and a boys dreams are the first fatality. Written in sonorous prose that recalls the speakers Italian origins, Pietro di Donatos Christ in Concrete is at once a powerful social document and a deeply moving story about the American immigrant experience.
