Andrew Solomon's first novel, "A Stone Boat," is a shimmering remembrance of things past and a meditation on love and death.

A timely, perceptive and highly entertaining combination of art criticism, social analysis and personal revelation... It is Mr. Solomon's deep compassion for these artists... that grabs and holds the reader.

The tone is compassionate and engaging throughout... Timely and enjoyable: a rich collage of personality and adventure.

An intimate, thoughtful glimpse of Moscow's and Leningrad's artistic vanguards, walking on ice in the unpredictable thaw of glasnost.

Solomon has written a thought-provoking book, an homage to free spirits.
