BYRON AS HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN,
By Prokosch draws heavily and shrewdly on existing biographies of the great poet, most notably (it appears) André Maurois's Byron, and does a wonderful job getting the voice and nuances of Byron's speech. Even more important, he appears to channel the poet's thoughts and intellectual patterns. A book like this hopes to accomplish the moment when the reader forgets he is reading fiction and believes that Byron himself really is talking. It happens here on many occasions, and it's a delight given the lead character, who was after all the very first rock star in western culture. It was wonderful fun reading this novel, especially right after reading the Maurois biography, which I did. I heartily recommend it! --Robert McDowell, The Poetry Mentor, (www.robertmcdowell.net), author of POETRY AS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE (July 15, 2008) from Free Press.
