"Dvorak in Love will charm your socks off." —Jim Gustafson, Detroit News Here is a wonderfully imagined picture of a little-known period in American musical history. In 1892, at the height of his prodigious powers, Antonin Dvorak was persuaded to leave his native Bohemia to come to New York to be director of the National Conservatory for Music. In this exuberant novel, Josef Skvorecky tells the story of Dvorak's utterly requited love affair with young America, the anthem of which is his famous Symphony in E Minor, "From the New World."
A perfect match of writer and subject, this is a marvelous novel—a "light-hearted dream" Skvorecky calls it—filled with artistry and music and brio.
"A stunning achievement." —Edward Rothstein, The New Republic
"An exuberant tour de force." —James Marcus, The Nation
