Anderson is one of fiction's most gifted storytellers of complex stories, and when he turns his prodigious talents to the telling of true stories, he can be trusted not only for factual detail, but for sharp emotional analysis, painful historical perspective, and elegant writing that lifts this title above the 'encyclopedia' tone of much non-fiction writing. His writing about music is also evocative and helps even the most tone-deaf reader to hear what Shostakovich's 7th meant.
