...Alaskan life than a big-city yuppie's romantic small-town fantasy. There is no bigotry or narrow-mindedness in this small town; the residents are all closet highbrows. The townspeople read D.H. Lawrence and quote Voltaire; the local tavern plays Louis Armstrong and Mildred Bailey on the jukebox. For Joel there's a cute, available brunet (Janine Turner) and a philosophical Native American pal (Darren E. Burrows) who is conversant with movies like The Wages of Fear.

After all, the prolific Glass has created several more music-theater pieces since Akhnaten, most recently The Hydrogen Jukebox, a collaboration with poet Allen Ginsburg. Among other exponents of minimalism, composer John Adams (Nixon in China) is busily at work on his second opera, The Death of Klinghoffer, which is scheduled for a Brussels premiere next year. Yet neither composer is still writing in the rigorously theoretical, disdainfully austere style of his early years...
