It was Paul’s afternoon to appear before the faculty of the Pittsburgh High School to account for his various misdemeanours. … There was something of the dandy about him, and he wore an opal pin in his neatly knotted black four-in-hand, and a red carnation in his button-hole.

Listen to the audiobook preview

A red carnation, a borrowed world of beauty, and one desperate escape from ordinary life.

Paul feels alien in the gray routines of school and home, finding refuge only amid music, theatre, and the polished world of Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Hall. When an unexpected chance lets him flee to New York, he builds a dazzling fantasy whose cost is already closing in. Willa Cather’s celebrated “study in temperament” is a sharp, compassionate story of art, class, performance, desire, and belonging.
