popular culture in fifty years is how the New
Vork
Times
describes The Sopranos. Critically-acclaimed, award-winning, and the most
watched show on HBO, the mobster drama swirls around the middle-aged
Mafioso, Tony
Soprano (James Gandolfini). Having to negotiate two families,
both at home and at work, is it any wonder he is suffering an epic midlife
crisis involving Prozac and visits to a therapist? The series quickly became
compulsory watching when it first screened back in
1999
and has since gone
on to become an international hit and subject of intense discussion.
Coinciding with the sixth and penultimate series, Reading The Sopranos
offers a timely response to one of the most talked about shows on television.
This book explores how The Sopranos has rewritten the rules of television
drama and changed attitudes about television itself. Contributors present
fresh perspectives on psychotherapy and dreams; racism and the Italian-
American community;
Carmela
and post-feminism; The Sopranos as an HBO
brand; racism; the full cast of gangsters Italianate that people Sopranos
New Jersey and much more.
Reading The Sopranos also features a timeline, character list and
complete episode guide, as well as editor David Lavery s up to date
Intertextual Moments and Allusions on The Sopranos .
