...single outpouring of popular acclaim ever accorded a U.S. musician. Next week Manhattan will give him a national hero's welcome back to the U.S. with a ticker-tape parade up Broadway. He will go to Washington to be received by the President of the U.S. His first post-Russia concert (in which he will repeat his Moscow prizewinning pieces: Tchaikovsky's Concerto No. 1, Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3) has swamped Carnegie Hall with the heaviest demand for tickets in all its glittering history...

Stylistically, Author Gutwillig tries to evoke Scott Fitzgerald but merely invokes him. His novel's value is as a minority report of a post-Korean war generation that is less interested in revolting against society than seceding from...
