Trigiani is Swang
Adriana Trigiani is on a book tour to promote her new novel "Very Valentine. In the works are 2 prospective movies, 2 more "Very Valentine" books, and a book series for teenage girls. She stands as our single best hope of balancing the mafia stereotypes that dominate our culture.
When asked how she came to write her first novel, Adriana Trigiani responded, “It was a total surprise because I was writing TV…I wanted to have a baby and when you write comedy for television you work seven days a week. So a friend of mine said ‘You should write a book. Then you could have a baby.’ And, I swear, that’s what happened. I didn’t know it would be good or that you would like it. And now suddenly I’m swang.”
