Tricarico has been researching Guidos for over 20 years and has put out academic papers with titles such as "Youth Culture, Ethnic Choice, and the Identity Politics of Guido," "Guido: Fashioning An Italian-American Youth Style," and "Dressing Up Italian Americans For The Youth Spectacle: What Difference Does Guido Perform...
...once disparaged, the University of Miami. That's right, the University of Miami Hurricanes, who used to symbolize so much that is wrong with Division I college football. Until a few years ago, the Hurricanes had an all too often deserved reputation for thugball - a brash, smash-mouth style that mirrored the Miami Vice era both on and off the field.

In addition to stories, he wrote poetry, an extended history of Chinese literature and hundreds of essays, including small masterpieces like his eloquent 1926 tirade against the warlord government of the time for gunning down unarmed patriotic student protesters. His stories are wide-ranging in style and subject, from the touchingly nostalgic and straightforward "My Old Home" (a poignant look at the gulf that grows over time between two Chinese villagers of different classes) to the fiercely polemical, stylistically experimental "Diary of a Madman" (which offers a crushing indictment of the stultifying effects of Confucianism).
