But the main thing is HE WAS NOT A MEMBER. Jimmy Caan hung around wiseguys during the filming of The Godfather so much they opened a file up on him too, doesnt mean he was inducted into the Mafia. His point was that Winegardener could have researched The Godfathers already in existance, but chose not to.
Of course he was not a member! I meant to say that it was not only his
imagination that helped him creating this book. MW undoubtedly did some research about Mafia, but that is not my point. His writing manner, in the first chapter at least, shocks me with vulgarity and distaste when describing simple things, where no special research is necessary at all.
