5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant sentimentality....classic literature. 10 stars. Dec 14 1998
By A Customer
Format: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!
