Casanova in Bohemia : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: sublime music
Review: The reviewer who couldn't hear the sublime music in Codrescu's "Casanova in Bohemia" must have a tin ear. This is a generous, rich and bitter-funny novel written in some of the best English prose-rhythms I have ever known. Re-read the first sentence, and then read the rest of it out loud. I predict a long literary life for this book.
