This particularly holds for the novel's ending, a melodramatic surrealization of a ghetto uprising...
...third of the Metropolitan Museum's monumental exhibitions in honor of its hundredth anniversary, 19th-Century America. comes prepared to outdo the previous exhibitions in claborate display, quantity and splendour. With the bravura of technicolor and wide screen, the museum puts hundreds of paintings and sculptures among a setting of period furniture and decorative art with craftsmanship and detail stripped from design today...
