Salzman Mark
The Soloist
.Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 284 pages. The author's second novel. "The difficulties encountered by talented children are dispassionately chronicled in this unusual story about a musical prodigy who as an adult must come to terms with his own mediocrity. When Reinhart Sundheimer's prodigious talent as a world-renowned cellist suddenly and inexplicably deserts him at age 18, he is bereft for he knows no other life than that of the concert stage and is accustomed to adulation. As a college professor who has never learned social skills, he is aloof from his colleagues and spends his spare time practicing in the vain hope that his genius will return. Then, in one event-filled week, the outside world invades his insular environment. First, he is called to jury duty and second, he agrees to give cello lessons to a 12-year-old prodigy. Interacting with other jurors during deliberations on a brutal murder case and reacting to the unpredictability of his student require emotional resources that he never knew he possessed. Both experiences result in personal insight that allows him to accept his limitations as a musician and gives him the courage to broaden his horizons as a human being" (Publisher's). ISBN 0394570103.

Ma Jian
Red Dust : A Path Through China
336 pages, Maps Vintage/Ebury (A Division of Random House Group) London, UK 235 x 155 mm. in inches: 9.25 x 6.1 Ma Jian turned 30. He was overwhelmed by a desire to escape the confines of his life in Beijing. China was changing, Deng Xiapoing was introducing economic change but was clamping down on "Spiritual Pollution". Ma Jian, with his long hair, denim jeans and artistic friends, was under surveillance from his work unit and the police. His ex-wife was seeking custody of their daughter; his girlfreind was sleeping with another man; and he could no longer find the inspiration to write or paint. So Ma Jian bought a train ticket to the westernmost border of China and set off in search of himself. His journey lasted three years and took him to deserts, overpopulated cities, from scenes of barbarity to havens of tranquility and beauty. This account of his journey provides an insight into the teeming contradictions that make up China. Chronicles the poet, painter, photographer, and dispirited Buddhist's three-year trek through China's most remote regions. His adventurous spirit and sense of humor provide a remarkable perspective on modern-day China in its unique beauty. May have a small remainder mark on the edge. Illustrated. 324 pages. Published at $25.00. ISBN 0375420592
