Reviews

"Mr. Lueders’s novel develops, like a sonata, from the germ of a beautifully simple idea into a complete and heart-satisfying work of literary music."—Edward Abbey
; "Like any literary performer worth his salt, Mr. Lueders immediately focuses our attention and assures our personal participation in the ‘General Bliss’ experience—in this case, through his elegant prose and obvious musical awareness."—Artie Shaw
