About this title: The seven stories in this collection all take some other work of art--a poem by Robert Frost, a piece of music by Bach--as their starting point and weave them into stories about contemporary middle-aged New Yorkers (or ex-New Yorkers). One character, for instance, talks his way out of a speeding ticket by telling the born-again cop who stops him that he just got carried away listening to Bach's ST. JOHN'S PASSION.
