A Musical Offering

<strong>A lyrical celebration of storytelling, of childhood, and of the transformative power of music.</strong>Tracing a circular course that echoes Bach's<em>Goldberg Variations</em>, Luis Sagasti's second book to appear in English takes the guise of a musical scheherazade, recounting story after story, vibrating to celestial harmonies. From the music born of the sun to the music sent into space on the<em>Voyager</em>mission, from Rothko to rock music, from the composers of the concentration camps to a weeping room for Argentinian conscripts in the Falklands,<em>A Musical Offering</em>traverses the shifting sands of fiction and history.
