Hamlisch has lived in Hollywood for the past two years, but he remains an unreconstructed New Yorker.

"Look at me," he says proudly, "I'm as pale as a Long Islander in February." He likes to tell about his own case of inflated Hollywooditis after the awards.

Gill's narrative voice evokes the kind of man who might be found in one of his own fictional clubs or parlors-a wryly observant uncle or older brother who has moved in wide enough circles to be able to recount a homosexual killing...
