I finished reading of Katya this morning to discover tears had trailed to my pillow. No wonder Trevanian has garnered such accolades!

Elegant sentimentality....classic literature. 10 stars.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Summer of Katya (Mass Market Paperback)
In the Summer of Katya, Trevanian departs from the acerbic, audacious voice with which he formerly spoke with (Shibumi, The Eiger and Loo Sanction). In place is the voce of a romantic, sentimental underdog in a memoir that combines a comedy which brims with wit and elegance and an emotional tragedy that is complete in its devastation. The "genius" of this work lies in Trevanian's achieving an ambience of autumnal dignity that resonates throughout the entire story. Another masterpiece from Rodney Whitaker!
