Does music translate into words? Now it does
The lead character of this book is identified as ‘the drummer’, or simply ‘he’.
‘He’ is a musician who plays in a jazz band and dreams of a professional career while selling women’s shoes at a local store for a living.
Like silent witnesses, we watch the music being made in the heat of improvisation, before our eyes, so to speak – narrated music, or as close to that as words can take us.
Torn between everyday trivialness and art’s flights of fancy, ‘he’ searches for the same as the rest of us: the life he’s meant to live, a life where one can find beauty and purpose.
