Rogers C.B. Morton, brought into the White House as a "political" aide in the old sense of the word, will live in both worlds for the simple reason that somebody has to.

Taking off from tunes by Jelly Roll Morton, "Eight Jelly Rolls" (1971) buries its structure and, true to Tharp's dictum, unearths random scatter.

Lewis makes use of some almost painfully revealing source material on their affair, including the private diary Wharton addressed to Fullerton and the love poems he inspired her to write, as well as correspondence from his jealous cousin and fiancee, Katherine Fullerton. Skillfully integrating the poems and journal entries with his text, Lewis illumines both the depth and power of Wharton's feelings for Fullerton and her yearning to escape the solitude that afflicted...
