...nickname used by more than one radicalized black. The original Cinque was an African who in 1839 led a revolt aboard the slave ship transporting him to the U.S. The New York Post noted last week that the plot of Black Abductor, a novel of politics and pornography published in 1972, closely resembles the Hearst kidnaping. In the book, an heiress-coed named Patricia is held for ransom by a racially mixed group of radicals in America's "first political kidnaping...
...Abduction from the Seragllo is probably the first of Mozart's operas that you're likely to love at first acquaintance. It has a rather joyfully ridiculous plot about a talking pasha and his harem and a ferocious servant and a comical Englishwoman and so on, and some remarkable music, and a number of Harvard people are singing in this production, besides.

As in a great deal of good fiction, the novel grows out of character, not plot or theme. Those who have read any of Hanley's more than 40 other novels should not be surprised. At 73, he is one of the most consistently praised and least-known novelists in the English-speaking world. Born in Dublin and raised in Liverpool, Hanley became a merchant seaman at age 13, just before World War I. He is self...
