A while back, I mentioned David Farley’s book, An Irreverent Curiosity, about his search for the “holy foreskin” in the Italian hill town of Calcata, which just came out. It’s a great story, and I take heart that offbeat, thoughtful, funny stories can get real traction if done well. So far, Farley’s book has been recommended by New York, Outside, Kirkus, and he’s had interviews on MediaBistro, World Hum, Gadling and other places. More information here.
