![]() You could get some notion of how his mind worked from reading his books, but he gave no clues as to the personal life behind them. The foundation of his writing was in reportage, not introspection. On the page, he’s just as detached from the fads and crazes he chronicled-chronicled, but didn’t experience directly. There are no photographs of him in a paisley shirt or a Nehru collar. You’d never catch him subscribing to the fashions of his time. He was a white-suited dandy-or a parody of a dandy. By the 1960s, however, Wolfe’s spiffy image was firmly established. The author who would go on to write The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The Right Stuff and The Bonfire of the Vanities is nowhere to be seen. His voluminous raincoat billows in the breeze. His tie is wafting its way independently toward a nearby revolving door. ![]() Wolfe, by contrast, seems to be slouching all over the place. Kennedy, of course, looks impeccable: cool, dapper, sexy. It can be a shock to see a photograph of Tom Wolfe before he was “Tom Wolfe.” There’s a shot from 1958 of Wolfe interviewing then-senatorial candidate John F. ![]()

Instead, it compiles music made in Burma as early as 1909 and as late as 1960. The other new 78rpm collection Millis produced, The Crying Princess, is not focused on a single style. Even the softest notes leap out from under the scratchy surface noise of the 78s. The playing is often subdued and sparse, yet there's a fiery unpredictability to each performance. ![]() On Scattered Melodies, Millis collects Sanjo tracks from the 1920s up to the 1950s, and they're all oddly transfixing. The music he's referring to is known in Korea as Sanjo, an improvised style developed in the 1890s and played on a string instrument called the Kayagum.

I really loved the characters, though, and overall, this was a good read. Unfortunately, the pacing of the book somewhat slows down once she goes to stay with the duke, and it’s a bit more of a drag to get through. I absolutely loved this beginning and wished Mellow had chosen to focus the whole book on this part of Larkyra’s life. This novel starts with Larkyra out on a coming-of-age mission, living on the streets in the Thief Kingdom and learning how to control her magic even more than she already does.
