Aptallar Erken Ölür

Puzo's storytelling delves into greed and power, but I'm curious what personal experiences or observations influenced this focus.

The characters seem to grapple with who they are versus who they want to be—did that resonate strongly or feel a bit overplayed?

I'm fascinated by the setting and wonder whether Puzo drew from personal knowledge or extensive research to create such an authentic atmosphere.
