After intermission, pianist Konstantin Lifschitz performed Brahms’ First Piano Concerto. This was 25-year-old Lifschitz’s overdue Boston debut but the result was somewhat disappointing, especially after such an explosive first half.

...cartoon, Thomas Nast rolls over in his grave. Soon the resulting angular momentum will dislodge Earth from its orbit, making Boston as warm as Garrett’s home in sunny Florida.

This is author Eric Dezenhall's debut novel, and the former Reagan White House staffer and co-founder of a crisis-management firm knows his stuff. His superb eye and ear at times call to mind such masters of the journalistic novel as Tom Wolfe. This is one for the carry-on bag. --By Andrea Sachs...
