Dear Readers,
It is with tremendous excitement that we announce the publication of Wiseblood Books' August release, Master of Wednesday Night, by FJ Rocca. In this novel, Rocca interrogates ambition and success as two conductors vie for mastery over the symphony orchestra in a small American city. Order a copy for $14.00 HERE, or through AmazonHERE. In the tradition of Henry James and Edith Wharton, Master of WednesdayNight is the story of Eduard Vitolt-Bartholdy, an intransigent old-school European musician, devoted to his art, and Jeffreys Barthel, a brash, young, American pragmatist with a talent for self-promotion. Will youth triumph over wisdom, profession over art, money over music, so-called realpolitik over authentic genius? In probing this question, Master of Wednesday Night moves from the immediate conflict between innocence and experience back through the tragic history of Europe during the first half of the 20th Century. The young Barthel is forced to interrogate his own “success” in light of this moving meditation on the Maestro's long life, narrated by Viktor Kaminsky, the valet who has known it all. We've recently reordered our Catalogue and expanded the ways by which you can pay for books. Check it out HERE.

With sincerest thanks, Joshua Joshua Hren, Ph.D. Editor-in-Chief Wiseblood Books www.wisebloodbooks.com wisebloodbooks@gmail.com

FJ Rocca is very popular now because of the book that he wrote! Out of curiosity, I read the book that he wrote and I have to say that it is worth the hype. He deserves everything that he is getting right now because “ Master of Wednesday Night” was definitely worth the read. Though the price of the book is quite expensive compared to a normal book being sold on bookstore upon its launching, the story itself is the one that will tell you that it’s worth buying. You will never regret buying it. From the moment I finished reading it, I knew already that most of the people will love it! Leave a Reply. |
