A beautiful hardcover anthology of short stories about music by a remarkable array of literary greats, selected by someone who is both a musician and a writer.
This dazzling selection brings together short fiction by a wide variety of writers featuring many different types of music, from Virginia Woolf's "A String Quartet" to Langston Hughes's "The Blues I'm Playing" and Donald Barthelme's "The King of Jazz," and from Ivan Turgenev's "Song of Triumphant Love" to Katherine Mansfield's "The Singing Lesson" and Ian McEwan's "A Duet." Here are melodious scenes from E. M. Forster's Howard's End, Ann Patchett's Bel Canto, and Vikram Seth's An Equal Music, and stories by Joyce, Flaubert, and Proust in harmony with pieces by Vladimir Nabokov, Maya Angelou, Eudora Welty, Kazuo Ishiguro, Amit Chaudhuri, and Philip K. Dick. Together these twenty-eight musical tales make up a gorgeous symphony of literary delights.
Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
