The Venice Adriana explores both the realm of the diva and the peculiar world of the pirate tape--illegally made recordings of live performances--and its collectors with well-informed wit. Adriana Grafanas is very much Callas, right down to specific anecdotes, but without the humiliation of the Onassis years or the sad end, alone, in Paris in 1977. Note: Mordden deliberately aims his story at a rather narrow readership, and the book contains graphic scenes of sexual relations that some may find offensive.
" Mordden's most beautifully written book... compelling, entertaining, knowing, and warm." --Austin Chronicle
" Mordden handles his complex themes and witty details with the bold assurance and perfect pitch of a natural singer." -- Bay Area Reporter
" Richly detailed, with extravagant emotions cascading like starbursts through the colorful tapestry of Italian life." --Kirkus Reviews
" Mordden is in top form here, displaying the same high level of artistry as in his other novels." ---Library Journal
