Sort of a sequel to FIRST CHILDHOOD. Autobiographical novelization of a young man coming of age in the late 19th century. “. . . alive with unforgotten terrors and unforgiven indignities” of youth. A boy awakens to the spell of Wagner, ballet and musical composition. The author is the guy that used to dip pigeons in different colored paint and set them free too create “a cloud of confetti in the sky.”   #8804
