THE SOPRANOS
Bom under a Bad Sign
Often hailed as one of the greatest television series of all time/ The
Sopranos is a product of its era, firmly embedded in the problems of
post-industrial/ post-ethnic America. In The Sopranos: Born under a Bad
Sign/ Franco Ricci examines the groundbreaking HBO series and its
impact as a cultural phenomenon.
Ricci demonstrates an encyclopedic knowledge of the series, the
genre, and the show s social context in his analysis of its complex
themes and characters. He explores The Sopranos deep engagement
with problems of race, class, gender, and identity, specifically in its por-
trayal of the Italian-American experience, consumer- and media-driven
society, and contemporary psychosocial issues. The series protagonist,
Mafia boss and patriarch Tony Soprano, in many ways embodies the
anxieties of our age. Focusing on Tony Soprano s internal struggles and
interactions with his therapist, family, and associates, Ricci traces this
archetypal character s existential conflicts and sheds light on his search
for self, connection, and meaning.
Comprehensive in scope and sophisticated in approach, The Sopra-
nos: Born under a Bad Sign is richly rewarding reading for anyone with
an interest in the popular television drama, both as entertainment and
as social commentary.
franco ricci is a professor of Italian studies at the University of
Ottawa֊
