Una ofrenda musical

Luis Sagasti

From Shelf: Fiction publishing w/c 16th May 2022

Un sensible homenaje a la narracion, la infancia y el poder transformador de la musica.

El segundo libro traducido al ingles 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 armonias celestiales. Sagasti nos guia en un viaje que va desde la musica nacida bajo el sol a la musica enviada al espacio en la mision Voyager. Desde Rothko hasta el rock, desde aquellos compositores en los campos de concentracion hasta una habitacion donde se escuchan los lamentos de los reclutas argentinos en Malvinas. Un delicado homenaje a la narracion, la infancia y el poder transformador de la musica.
