...lusher moments evoked the fine string writing of Vaughan Williams. Yu has a knack for the Spanish dance idiom--one hopes that he will conduct Ravel's "Alborada del Gracioso" in the near future. The members of the orchestra were more than up to the task of the furious coda, never letting its fast tempo mar their phrasing...

So he was much relieved when his own debut novel, My Favorite War, won favorable reviews last year. "Fast, funny and furious," is how the Boston Globe described his satirical yarn of a young African-American journalist (not unlike Farley) laboring for a national publication (not unlike USA Today, his previous employer) in Washington during the Gulf War. Now HBO has optioned My Favorite War for a made-for-cable movie, a prospect that can make even...
