Title: A flat out hack job
Product review: Why is this "book" so bad? Laurel E. Fay doesn't give a hoot about her brilliant subject. Ms. Fay only has an extreme political agenda(developed by her unbalanced mentor), and she makes her arguements very poorly. The life and times of DS are facinating, tragic, and heroic, but in the hands of Ms. Fay, his story becomes just plain dull. Worse, it's just plain wrong. Her factual inconsistincies are appalling, even spurious. Laurel E. Fay is the "Kitty Kelly" of academia. The great Dmitri Shostakovich deserves, and has justly received, better. Please, for the sake of all that is decent, do NOT buy this badly research, and badly written "book".
