I finished Orfeo by Richard Powers and have to tell you all that this is the best thing Powers has done since The Goldbug Variations. Excellent. I was googling all the musical references and the artists etc. so it took longer but I was in a little piece of heaven for awhile. :-) Bekah https://beckylindroos.wordpress.com- Pynchon-l / http://www.waste.org/mail/?list=pynchon-l
