Media Reviews
When Warren Howe, middle-aged TV script writer, receives an invitation to the funeral of Monsieur Dulac, he attempts to round up all the people who were guests with him three decades ago in Riva. Dulac''s castle in the Austrian Alps. Neither Uncle Fremont, who ''invented the dust bowl'' nor an old college friend cares to re-experience the good old days. But Sol Spiegel, a junk collector who salvages the past, is eager to return. To escape a world firmly anchored in space and bound to clock time, to re-experience the unbelievable, they go back to Riva--an imaginative creation fixed in neither time nor space, but like its master, both in and out of the world. -- Saturday Review of Literature
