«Honrarás a tu padre» is Gay Talese's journalistic chronicle, published by Alfaguara in paperback, 640 pages, in Spanish.
Gay Talese infiltrated the inner circle of the Bonanno family for six years to portray Italian-American mafia. From the kidnapping of Joseph Bonanno in 1964 and his reappearance a year later, the work narrates disputes between clans, the structure of crime and their family life. This chronicle, a classic of journalism, inspired the series The Sopranos.
Work originally published in 1971 as «Honor Thy Father». This Spanish edition, translated by Patricia Torres Londoño, belongs to Alfaguara's Literaturas collection.
For readers of non-fiction and narrative journalism interested in the mafia and the real events that inspired series like The Sopranos.
