Bullets for Dead Hoods Bullets for Dead Hoods Dead for Bullets In the early 2000s, writer, curator, and gallerist John Corbett struck thrift gold at a going-out-of-business Chicago junk shop when he stumbled onto a browned and brittle manuscript intimately documenting the Chicago mob of the early 1930s. The tone of its typewritten and hand-annotated pages immediately grabbed him— sensationalistic and funny, they read like an embellished police blotter, naming names, listing addresses, and recounting crimes. Presented here in facsimile in order to capture the dossier’s distinctive materiality, Bullets for Dead Hoods: An Encyclopedia of Chicago Mobsters, c. 1933 offers a detailed rundown on the Chicago Outfit through 140 noir character sketches, which range from the infamous—Al Capone, George “Bugs” Moran, the Everleigh Sisters— BULLETS FOR to their lesser known aiders and abettors. Whoever dared to put this testament together was clearly someone with access to information—a cop? a reporter? a bitter mafioso?—but who would’ve risked sharing these particulars, and why, is a mystery that will likely never be solved. DEAD HOODS In addition to the full-color manuscript, Bullets for Dead Hoods includes related documentary material, an introduction by John Corbett, a compilation of more than 400 locations referenced in the manuscript, and a pull-out map of Chicago that pinpoints over 300 street addresses.

  • Prostitutes, Feminists, and the War on White Slavery
    Decades of Reform: Prostitutes, Feminists, and the War on White Slavery By: Jodie Masotta Under the direction of: Professor Nicole Phelps & Professor Major Jackson University of Vermont Undergraduate Honors Thesis College of Arts and Sciences, Honors College Department of History & Department of English April 2013 Introduction to Project: This research should be approached as an interdisciplinary project that combines the fields of history and English. The essay portion should be read first and be seen as a way to situate the poems in a historical setting. It is not merely an extensive introduction, however, and the argument that it makes is relevant to the poetry that comes afterward. In the historical introduction, I focus on the importance of allowing the prostitutes that lived in this time to have their own voice and represent themselves honestly, instead of losing sight of their desires and preferences in the political arguments that were made at the time. The poetry thus focuses on providing a creative and representational voice for these women. Historical poetry straddles the disciplines of history and English and “through the supremacy of figurative language and sonic echoes, the [historical] poem… remains fiercely loyal to the past while offering a kind of social function in which poetry becomes a ritualistic act of remembrance and imagining that goes beyond mere narration of history.”1 The creative portion of the project is a series of dramatic monologues, written through the voices of prostitutes that I have come to appreciate and understand as being different and individualized through my historical research The characters in these poems should be viewed as real life examples of women who willingly became prostitutes.

  • AL CAPONE, “Scarface”, Impone La Sua Impronta
    AL CAPONE, “Scarface”, impone la sua impronta Pubblicato su Rivista Informatica "GRAFFITI on line" (www.graffiti-on- line.com), del mese di ottobre 2019 con il titolo: “I GANGSTER DI COSA NOSTRA E LE MAFIE ITALO AMERICANE”, Atto 2°) http://www.graffiti-on-line.com/home/opera.asp?srvCodiceOpera=900 Originario dal Brooklyn della gang, il giovane Al Capone raggiunge il suo mentore Johnny fox Torrio a Chicago, dove imporrà la sua legge a colpi di pistola e di mazzette, alla guida della potente organizzazione mafiosa della Chicago Outfit. olamente Al Capone (1899-1947) uccide la gente in questo modo”. Ovvero di schiena con proiettili da 45 mm. sparati da una mitraglietta Thompson. SL’uomo che parla in questi termini si chiama George “Bugs” Moran, al secolo Adelard Cunin (1893-1957). Solo per un caso della sorte egli non si trovava in quel posto durante il massacro della giornata di San Valentino, il 14 febbraio 1929, dove ci furono ben 7 morti. Ma Capone ha ucciso o fatto uccidere ben molti di più nella sua lunga carriera di nemico pubblico n. 1. René Reouven (1925 - ), nel suo Dizionario degli Assassini ne ha fatto il conto: ben 700 assassinii in 14 anni di attività ! Un record che penso non potrà, a titolo individuale, rivendicare nessun altro del suo malfamato quartiere di Brooklyn. Alfonso Gabriele Capone nasce dunque proprio a Brooklyn, dove viene allevato da una famiglia di origini napoletane, molto religiosa: suo padre, barbiere e sua madre, sarta. Egli è il quarto figlio di una nidiata di nove. Evidentemente, il giovane passa più tempo per la strada che in classe, poiché, all’età di 14 anni, egli viene espulso dalla scuola per aver colpito un professore.
