The young Italian-American left his parents' home in Boulder, Colorado, intent on becoming the great writer he is certain he will be. He took only two suitcases, one of them filled with copies of his most important literary achievement to date: the short story \"The Little Dog Laughed,\" published in a magazine by his editor and personal hero, J.C. Hackmuth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e With money running out and a creative shortage that stubbornly thwarts his convictions, he finds himself struggling with an obsessive passion for Camilla Lopez, a Mexican waitress who dreams of finding a good husband and quitting her job.
