hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. New York. 1986. January 1986. Viking Press. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0670809004. 306 pages. hardcover. Jacket art by Michael Tedesco. keywords: Literature America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Suffering a kind of housemaid's knee of the fingers, piano prodigy Max Randal stumbles over the keys trying to recover the virtuosity that for 10 years has made him the toast of the music world and will reaffirm his position when he plays at Carnegie Hall a few months hence. At the moment, however, he seems more involved with wine and women than with song; his first wife dies tragically, his second duns him for thousands in alimony, his third sets him up for re-seduction, and his interim companion goes after him with a knife. In between, his 9-going-on-19-year-old daughter Daphne is thrust upon him while her mother traipses around Europe, disregarding Max's need to practice undisturbed except by sex, speed and Scotch. His best friend, furthermore, flies off on a mysterious mission to (of all places) Albania, which eventually yields not only photographs never before revealed to the outside world, but a hitherto unknown Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody. There's intrigue aplenty, along with some homey scenes of Daphne and Daddy cooking, and a good deal of musical name-dropping and classy partying. - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. inventory #8271.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition/First Printing. A scarce title overall - this is a nice copy of the highly regarded author/poet's debut novel. As rich and exuberant as a performance by Rubenstein, "The Soloist" transforms a musician's dark night of the soul into a brilliant adventure. In a wild romp through New York and Boston - a renewal of relationships with every important person in his life - Max Tandal discovers what he needs to know about himself and about the people he thinks he loves. A slight "slant" to the spine accounts for the grading.
