The Magic Wheel
Essays on music and literature. A manual for the (un)disciplined
$26.000
Verses taken from Chilean songs inspire, introduce, and drive several passages of this book, composed of texts that demonstrate that even perspectives of specialty and origin, distant from each other, can have a compelling common reference to a flow of sung poetry and rhythmically satisfying reflections, essential to our popular culture. That intersection between thought and song, between one's own elaboration and another's synthesis, is not the only stimulus in the reading, but in any case, it is eloquent of the open-mindedness and strength that guides the entire book. There is depth and there is provocation in the freedoms each author takes to leave new ideas for consultation, with a lively invitation to texts to come.
