...little like introducing chicken soup to matzo balls, perhaps, but on opening night at Jaffa's Alhambra Theater, practically everyone who was anyone in Israel was there: Premier Lev! Eshkol, Foreign Minister Golda Meir and the rest of the nation's official mishpachah. And when the curtain came down on the Hebrew adaptation of Broadway's Fiddler on the Roof, who should rush backstage but the Premier himself. Said Eshkol after toasting the cast: "Nu, nu, it's not exactly Sholom Aleichem, but I have never enjoyed an evening in the theater so much...

But the Rudofsky tour is conducted with such irresistible charm, wit, grace and style that the reader is inspired to affection, if not understanding, for the enigmatic Japanese. The book is profusely illustrated with old woodcuts...
...Warhol soup cans vie for the ready money with old masters. Alfalfa fortunes, born yesterday, successfully bid for art treasures against landed wealth. Rich plumbers dispossess the gentry on art-museum boards. Such propositions tickle Baird, an art insider, who deserted a gilt-framed career (New York's Frick Collection, Washington's National Gallery of Art) in favor of novel writing. Baird wields a deft brush to capture art's comic possibilities, but he wastes his brush strokes on a canvas of postage-stamp size...
