"A would-be Hemingway traces the spiritual and sexual odyssey of his early years," explains Kirkus Reviews. "In ADVENTURES IN HEAVEN AND HELL, Tuccille, denounced as a heretic by the dean of a Catholic college, skillfully weaves together details from his Italian-American upbringing in the Bronx with his globetrotting in the late 1950s and early '60s. The author renounces Catholicism and its educational institutions, 'presided over by social misfits, sexual deviants, and intellectual dullards in long, black dresses'... This book is generally skillful and engagingly detailed, but accenting the carnal more than the spiritual."Kirkus
