What might have been a jumble of intellectual movements and colorful minor figures (...) is instead a subtle weave of entertaining narrative and astute interpretation.” Has BeensIdeasCharacterMightMovingIndividualFiguresMovementIntellectualClimateClubsNarrativeSubtleInterpretationEntertainingMinorsSensibilityPortraitsMetaphysicalMight Have BeenColorfulIlluminatingMilieuAstute Author:George Scialabba
