Nicholas the Naked Sicilian, and Other Stories

By Vincent P. Militello

My ambition when I started this book was to allow the readers a chance to use their own imaginations and to come to their own conclusions.

Nicholas is a fable. It is about a man who somehow manages to live his own life to the fullest. There are also fifteen other unconventional short stories included in this book. To sum up, I just wanted to write a thought provoking book that would be fun to read.
