Busking the streets of the Quarter with an archaic sense of determination, James Buck is relentless in his pursuit to fathom the depths of his talent. He has no delusions of the obstacles that stand in the way of his becoming a great violinist: poverty, self-exhile from his family, his generation. But a dubious love affair with a beautiful young woman reveals the enormous obstacles that lay in the way of his becoming a great man. James Buck is a raw portrait of an artist as a young man, -vivid, accurately flawed, melancholic and beautifully honest and relevant. With a pace true to its circumstances at all times and a prose polished with an invisible friction, like the streetcar tracks along St. Charles Ave., this story takes you into the life of an anomaly, and drops you off with no way back.
