		Stone, who seems resolved to spare her nothing, fills the cup to overflowing by adding that she “was an indefatigable talker, being known to speak from four to seven hours without interrupting herself.” This is the woman who tamed the man whom his friends dubbed The Stallion, and this is the woman who gave Mr.
		Stone is at pains to show the most agreeable aspects of his nature, and proves his point up to the hilt, but there was another side of London’s character, and one less pleasant.

		Stone, as he was universally known, was a fixture at pretty much every concert of exploratory jazz and downtown experimentation since Coltrane was blowing the roof off the Vanguard.
		Steve Dalachinsky (who said he was unable to complete a serious poem about Stone because he knew the dedicatee would not approve) instead read a well-known poem by another late friend of his, Ted Joans, adapting certain phrases to better capture Stone's preferences.
		The idea, Dalachinsky reminded us, was that Stone had always been among the first to open his ears and heart to newcomers, and that these two, Mary Halvorson and Tim Keiper, were among the most recent arrivals on the scene.

		The most interesting point to me was in a note of Stone's at the end, explaining that the treasure of Priam, kept in the Berlin Museum, disappeared somehow when the Russians marched toward Berlin late in WWII.
		Stone weaves this historical novel with great respect and honesty, recounting the brilliance and flaws of this heroic man. This is an excellent book with an in-depth look at Greek culture coinciding with the life of a self-made millionaire and self-educated archeologist & linguist.
		Stone was able to put into this book the unusal and unconventional story of Schliemann and his young Greek bride in a way that you cheer them on and you feel their disappointments.
