The Courage Consort (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'A devastating portrayal of a woman on the verge of madness . . . His writing is as spare and sharp as ever." Daily Mail
The Courage Consort, possibly the seventh best-known a cappella vocal ensemble in Britain, are given two weeks in a Belgian chateau to rehearse their latest commission, the monstrously complicated Partitum Mutante. Their composer is a maniac, the group is full of sexual tension and fiercely differing temperaments - and what of the inhuman voice in the woods?

"This novella confirms [Faber] as something of a class act, with admirable economy of style and a good nose for character and social comedy . . . This small work is near-perfectly formed." Sunday Times

"Very subtle and completely engaging." Brian Eno
