Trotting onto the stage wearing dark pants and a white, cossack-style shirt with frilly cuffs, Helfgott, who still takes a daily mix of antipsychotic drugs, smiled giddily as applause washed over him, then launched into a formidable program of Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt and Beethoven.

In either of his two piano concertos, every part except the soloist's will seem like mere accompaniment.

It is this science fiction that clanks: author Bakis, 29, asks the reader to be literal-minded in accepting the surgical wonders, and then piles up so many that common sense balks. Could prosthetic hands, replacing cut-off paws, ever play Chopin? Could they ever stop hurting...
