Music For Wartime
By Rebecca Makkai
240 pages;
Viking
In this impressive first volume of stories, the lives of the
marginalized, from gay men to persecuted Jews, shimmer, Makkai deftly
interweaves elements of her own family's dark history in tales that showcase a
resilient cast of characters—among them a mother who stares down drunken
soldiers and a violinist who escaped a pogrom.
