Ian Young; The Male Homosexual In Literature: A Bibliography; 2982. "Music in the modern world is the core and substance of this new novel. Virtuosos, composers and impresarios, as well as the careerists who cling to the fringe of a noble art, are drawn sympathetically and in full portraiture. They come to life in a story with sbutle psychological overtones. Musically, it is the chronicle of a passing era and the promise of a new one." Attractive Stuart Davis dust jacket art. ; 413 pages.
