...virtuoso skill of piano soloist Wei-Jen Yuan ’06, before finally allowing the orchestra to come into their own. Under the direction of Dr. James Yannatos, the HRO passionately performed popular but stylistically diverse orchestra favorites, including Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait,” Tchaikovsky’s “Piano Concerto No. 1,” and Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring...

As his surname implies, Nick is forever a “Guest”: a creature of thresholds, of spare bedrooms just slightly under-furnished, of borrowed clothes and borrowed friends, always made much of but never quite belonging. Like the subject of a Renaissance portrait whose eyes or hands are deliberately enlarged to appear more lifelike, Nick has the uncanny air of being both more and less human than the rest of us. The novel’s three-part division, following the narrator in 1983, 1986, and 1987, shows his consciousness at distinct stages...
