Produktbeschreibung
In a story spanning fifty years and locales as oceanic as Malibu, as academic as Cambridge and as gritty as the piano bars of lower Manhattan, The Last Year at Low Tide is a full-circle story of one man's singular pursuit of musical greatness over a lifetime, and the love of his life who enriched the journey. Everett Crisp is a boy mesmerized by the sounds emanating from his headphones: Ravel, Shostakovich, Beethoven and Chopin are his closet friends, growing up in a rural town in the late 1970's. A classical pianist and composer with obvious gifts, he dreams of a life beyond Mason City, Iowa. Not only does he find that life, but it turns out to be a ride he could never have possibly imagined. From Carnegie Hall to Bel Air, from scotch to swimming pools, smoke-filled bars to Ivy League classrooms... to an eventual reckoning with his own life, history and ambition, The Last Year at Low Tide is the sweeping tale of one man's singular journey of self discovery while grappling with the ghosts of the past.
