"[A] funny and delicate novel, in which the great events of public life blend inextricably with an intense drama of ordinary things....Mr. Bausch wonderfully captures (the sixties), not only by knowing the songs that were popular and what the political phrases were, but also by finely evoking what now seems a kind of innocence and wholesomeness striving to adapt to the new....Mr. Bausch spins [his] intricate and delicious story with a wondrously tender touch. There is an intermingling of the comic and the dangerous in the qualities and foibles of his characters....Mr. Bausch makes us wish that somehow things will be better for young Walter Marshall than we, looking back, have any reason to expect."Bausch, Richard is the author of 'Good Evening Mr. and Mrs. America and All the Ship at Sea A Novel' with ISBN 9780060928575 and ISBN 0060928573.
