Dreyfus Affair : Love Story, A

Rating:
Summary: Pretty Dog-gone believable
Review: A friendly one-sitting read. Satiating and intelligent.

Rating:
Summary: Lush Prose
Review: Peter Lefcourt's "The Dreyfus Affair" is one of the most refreshing books I have read in a long time. Stories like D. J.'s and Randy's usually end up in tragedy, or are dead-locked serious and depressing. This gorgeous, funny story, however, is different. Everything is humorous, sun-dappled, and funny, but at the heart is an unfolding love story, almost epic. This book really pulls you into its own world, where you never want to leave. This has to be Lefcourt's masterpiece!!

Summary: "Dreyfus Affair" in home run territory
Review: With equal devotion to baseball commentary and ideas surrounding homosexual love, Peter Lefcourt's novel "The Dreyfus Affair" manages to be both hilarious and relevant. The comments made on American politics, values and ideals are surprisingly realistic, though the book itself is much too funny to allow any seriousness to stop readers from continuing. Still, all the right, serious questions are answered, making this more than just a fun book. It's a book with a lot to say and a clever way of saying it
