Critical Reviews
Premio Vincenzo Crocitti International Award for Literature and Music
"Tilting Toward the Sun by local author Mario Dell'Olio is, a story about love, about being true to yourself, and how life's circumstances force you to re-evaluate your priorities. The tributes to the communities of acceptance in San Francisco and DC, the power of the AIDS quilt project, and the tragedy of the unnecessary loss of so many lives stay with you." -The Cloverdale Connect
"Tilting Toward the Sun is part love story, part time capsule of a wrenching period for gay men, when AIDS decimated friendships. This tender story of endurance against the odds will make you believe in love again." -Michael Sadowski, author of Men I've Never Been: A Memoir, named one of the 100 Best Gay and Lesbian Books of All Time by bookauthority.org
