From Publishers Weekly: This distinctive novel is that rare book that takes an issue--the exploitation and isolation of the handicapped and the disabled--and places it within the context of society at large. Boston plastic surgeon Jasper Whiting leaves his wife and children to live in a dump of an apartment in Boston's squalid North End. Almost immediately, he meets Rhoda, a mercurial yet courageous woman who teaches "special" children. Through her, he encounters an extraordinary riff-raff of personalities: Luigi, the one-legged gay photographer who is catapulted to stardom as a model; the deaf-mute Anselmo, whose handicaps obscure his brilliant mind; Alex Thane, a priest lately back from Lebanon where he witnessed the massacre of his disabled students. Not least of them is Rhoda herself, the ringleader and inspiration to this unusual crew, which Bloch ( Passing Through ) brings to life with brio. Sometimes humorous, sometimes haunting, never sentimental, this novel is as compelling in its candor as it is fantastical in its tale. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1987 Hard Cover. When Jasper Whiting, eminent plastic surgeon, leaves his conventional home and family to go and live by himself in a run-down block of houses in Boston's North End, he does not imagine how his life and all he has lived for will be transformed by the people he encounters there: by the bizarrely beautiful and preternaturally wise, one-legged model Luigi Sasekawa; by the boy upstairs, the quadraplegic Sloan Glintz, who inspires such devotion in all who help to care for him; and most of all by Rhoda Massler, virtuoso teacher of the handicapped and later director of a guerrilla opera for and about them, from whom Jasper, too, learns to love. And when the cripples of the city begin to band together, to turn visible under the leadership of Rhoda's charismatic friend, the ex-priest Alex Thane, with a revolution of these 'wretched of the earth' in the making, Jasper as well is required to act, to declare himself, as nothing in his past has ever made him do before. Don Bloch's new novel, visionary in theme but solidly contemporary in setting, is funny, troubling and passionate. Like Jasper Whiting, its readers may be surprised at the force with which they too are drawn into the flashpoint world of this adventurous fiction. Signed by author.
