...meticulously recorded Nazi art inventories and France's National Museum archives unearthed some seemingly juicy facts, most notably that of the 60,000 art objects looted from the French by the Nazis during the war, 2,000 were still scattered throughout various French museums. To whom did these objects belong? Why hadn't the French government made greater efforts to locate their rightful owners? Was France stymieing efforts to recover lost...
...very title is mystifying. It seems to belong on a memoir by a minor, faintly boring old poet. It perches rather uneasily atop a story in which Robert, a sweet, dim maintenance man (a woofly Ewan McGregor), replaced by a robot, decides to revenge himself on his rich, cruel boss (Ian Holm) by kidnapping the boss's daughter Celine (a sleek Cameron Diaz).

...elegant style could have salvaged even this book, but Delbanco's prose comes up short. Delbanco seems unsure how best to tell his story, so he tells it all ways. Old Scores is a pastiche of almost every type of novel imaginable. Various passages belong to college novels, bodice-rippers, epistolary novels and memoirs...
