I haven't read this book so I found the following review on the internet. "Senator and Dolly Cromwell are giving a dinner party. The guests are two high administration officials; Dolly's old-rich parents; Lenny and Elizabeth Cromwell, home from college; and a last minute addition, Lenny's friend Clarence, who "happens" to be black. To Dolly, planning a dinner party is like "creating a work of art," and this is clearly what the novel is supposed to be: a theatrical piece in which the author explores the burning issues of the day. The main issues are the Central American crisis, which is the reason behind the dinner party, and death, which is the reason Lenny has come home. He must tell his parents that he has AIDS."

This book was left on a window ledge inside the station.

I stopped today( April 30,2004) to leave books at the station and saw this book with an orange sticky that said "Please Return to RR Station Lobby, Thanks."
I took the sticker off so I could make this journal entry. I hope whoever had it enjoyed reading it and I hope someone else finds it and Journals it, then Reads it, Makes a release note and Releases it anywhere they want so it can continue on its journey. Thanks, :o)Karats
