The late Judith Moore was probably one of the best writers of her century. Her writing prowess was only matched by her incredible intelligence and dry wit. For those of us lucky enough to have known her, she left an impression that will never be forgotten.
However, incredible artists never really die – they simply leave this earth, but their art remains forever in our minds, or on the page, or on the canvas, or on the recording. Judith wasn’t finished with her work on this earth when she passed away from colon cancer in 2006. It was the same cancer that claimed the life of another great woman artist, Audrey Hepburn.
Moore was the author of the critically acclaimed 2006 memoir, “Fat Girl.” Now, three years after she departed this life for her new home, the San Diego Reader Press has published Ms. Moore’s biography of San Diego mob boss, Frank “Bomp” Bompensiero (1905 –1977). “A Bad, Bad Boy” is sure not to disappoint. Kudos to Jim Holman for making this happen.
After all, who wouldn’t be engrossed by a cast of characters which include, “Bomp,” “Jimmy (the Weasel) Fratianno,” and “Momo and Marie?” And don’t be surprised if you develop a sudden craving for pasta and peas.
