A marvellous book that carries us through a veçu, a very sensitive journey illuminated in nostalgic New York, where cultures melt into the spicy tastes and flavours of… There are authors, who write novels, which could be turned into movies, but readers have usually celebrated those authors, with highest recognition and respect who write novels, with such an imaginary impact which transmits all your sensus of reality to a “transcendent” instance of the real world: a “projector”, illuminating into the Reader’s Self, the brilliant coloré cinemascope movie of its own. No Ballyhoo by Canadian-Italian-Turkish novelist Mauro Mevlud Martino is a kaleidoscopic look at New York life from the perspective of three generations in the Big Apple starting from the early 1900s to modern day… From philosophic world views in references to Jung and Freud to religious beliefs - Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, even atheist; from the exotic and traditional dishes of Istanbul, Poland, Italy, India, Africa mixed with the New World eclectic flavors of America and Canada; from the drumming of African percussions, American jazz, Turkish pipes, Polish waltzes and everything else that echoes into Johns cafe from the bowels of the Martini-Cohen retro music store Last Years Music to the grand silences and gaps of expressionless emotion that a great love renders when it happens; here between Kirk Cohen and his Turkish love interest Hesychia Mancuso; from holy books to canonic literature; from salt Kosher dishes to sweet honeyed treats of Turkey... No Ballyhoo is A Moveable Feast… Hemingway in its diary like style and homage to the life of this rich city, it is a tribute, a piece of the multi-layered cake that is NY life and all its multi-faces and flavors. – Vanessa McMahon (author, filmmaker and producer)
