Title
Fiorello LaGuardia. New York: Worthy Printing Company, Inc., 1934.
Description
Published only a year after La Guardia was elected mayor of New York City, this work by Flamma is, for the first half, a dyspeptic (or dystopic) meditation on the vagaries of wealth, prosperity and our national illusion during the Depression. Only starting at p. 41 of this 77-page essay does he begin in earnest to discuss La Guardia’s life. Flamma concludes this work with evident pride that after electing mayors in 29 other cities, Italians finally elected a mayor to the country’s most important city.
