Summary

With a delightful combination of the ridiculous and the sublime, Jonkeexplores surreal dimensions of space and sound, always anchoring hisflights of fancy in accessible imagery. More than any other author,Jonke, a pianist turned writer, avails himself of compositionaltechniques from classical music. Different characters sound their ownthemes in cleverly orchestrated conversations. Opening observations arerestated at the end by another character instead of in another key. Notsurprisingly, the first-person narrator is a composer, a young man whois all the more likable for his difficulties: his missing girlfriendand his withdrawal symptoms. The title is taken from a collection ofstudies by Carl Czerny; the content is a literary tour de force.
