A celestial sign appears and Boris trills: "I will run, not walk through the valley of the shadow of death. . . I will dwell in the house of the Lord for six months with an option...

The sense of struggle that usually accompanies a performance of such a difficult piece was all but lost as Chang dashed through scale passages and tossed off finger-breaking double stops with remarkable case.

"The Dance" which involves a jealous murder, is so blatant that it reads like a cruddy mystery. Where plot and dialogue run thinnest, Fitzgerald seems to dwell on elaborate descriptions of resorts, bars, and clothes, reducing stories like "The Hotel Child" to lists of Europe's lush spots. Even the rich can be handled adroitly; in these stories they...
