Overview
Un sensible homenaje a la narración, la infancia y el poder transformador de la música.
El segundo libro traducido al inglés de Luis Sagasti emprende un recorrido circular que hace eco de las Variaciones Goldberg de Bach para narrarnos historia tras historia, al estilo de Scheherazade, entretejidas de manera sutil y sorprendente, creando un tapiz que vibra al son de armonías celestiales. Sagasti nos guía en un viaje que va desde la música nacida bajo el sol a la música enviada al espacio en la misión Voyager. Desde Rothko hasta el rock, desde aquellos compositores en los campos de concentración hasta una habitación donde se escuchan los lamentos de los reclutas argentinos en Malvinas. Un delicado homenaje a la narración, la infancia y el poder transformador de la música.
