Description

Variations on a musical theme by a striking range of authors, among them Flaubert, Turgenev, Proust, Nabokov, Katherine Mansfield, Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan, Amit Chaudhuri, Bernard MacLaverty and Maya Angelou. Wesley Stace s attractive medley embraces musical genres from Virginia Woolf s A String Quartet to Langston Hughes s The Blues I m Playing and Cathi Unsworth s rock- n -roll Johnny, Remember Me . Short stories are interspersed with interludes from longer works - E. M. Forster s Howards End, Ann Patchett s Bel Canto and Vikram Seth s An Equal Music. Here are music lessons, solos and duets, rehearsals and performances - and a whole suite of stories demonstrating that music is indeed the food of love. The perfect marriage of the musical and the literary.
