Description
This man and music asks two central questions: what can literature contribute to the art of composition, and how can music influence the writer?
Anthony Burgess, famed novelist, journalist, and composer, answers these questions and many more.
As a person uniquely qualified to look at the interconnectivity of music and literature from both sides, Burgess provides fascinating insights, drawing on his deep knowledge of both disciplines.
The book contains eleven interconnected essays that touch on philosophical conundrums of art and adaptation, questions of meaning, and the author’s own personal experience.
It is a must-read for fans of Burgess who want to understand how music influenced the author’s craft of writing.
Part autobiography and part literary and musical analysis, This man and music is a unique artefact in the stunning output of a prolific artist. -- .
