Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Set in present-day Toronto, INCIDENTAL MUSIC is a novel about three very different women. Petra is new to the city and eager to establish roots, but she keeps losing jobs, and finds it impossible to make friends or adopt a cause. Martha is prosperous, intellectual and compassionate, a happily married mother of grown children, who just might have built everything in her life on an impressive amount of self-deception. A retired opera singer, Romola left Hungary after the failed 1956 uprising, having played part in it as a member of a group of performing artists who called themselves Sektor 7. She is trying to cope with the haunting memories of an old love and her reasons for leaving the country, but her excursions to the past usually end mired in her long-ago operatic roles. The lives of the women overlap, but there is never any unison. Petra, Martha and Romola are like the three operatic voices--soprano, mezzo and alto--that sometimes pair up their melodic lines but never sing in complete accord. INCIDENTAL MUSIC visits the troubled and fascinating period of the Hungarian Revolution, within its larger context of the Communist post-war years in Eastern Europe, explores Toronto's heritage and urban development, takes a sober outsider view of Canadian society and politics, and last, but not least, revels in the beauty of the opera--all through the tumultuous and passionate love affairs of its main characters. "Engaging on both intellectual and emotional levels, INCIDENTAL MUSIC is a heady mix of politics, opera and tempestuous love. Perovic interweaves the lives of her three main characters--Petra, Martha and Romola--seamlessly, and presents us with a Toronto that feels so unabashedly vibrant that it almost becomes a character in itself. This is a powerful debut novel--urban, smart and sexy."

Book excerpt: Called a cunning and elegant play . . . with] deft story-telling (John Lahr, The New Yorker), Ten Unknowns, John Robin Baitz's latest work, is an explosive drama about art -- and what happens when it becomes commerce.Malcolm Raphelson is a painter who was at the top of the art world -- until the critical vogue turned from realism to the abstract expressionist work of others. He has been in self-imposed exile in Mexico for decades, until dealer Trevor Fabricant decides it's time for a retrospective. Trevor sends Judd, a talented and tormented young painter, to serve as Malcolm's assistant and unofficial minder. When they are joined by a beautiful young student, their tense equilibrium is upset. In Ten Unknowns, Baitz portrays, in the words of Linda Winer of Newsday, a world conflicted with questions about the tyranny of art fashion and quality, about the benefits and blind spots in the outsider sensibility, about the warring American impulses for good and for meddling.

  • Release : 2013-11
  • ISBN : 0199842221
  • Pages : 245 pages

Download or read book Saying It With Songs written by Katherine Spring and published by . This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hollywood's conversion from silent to synchronized sound film production not only instigated the convergence of the film and music industries but also gave rise to an extraordinary period of songs in American cinema. Saying It With Songs considers how the increasing interdependence of Hollywood studios and Tin Pan Alley music publishing firms influenced the commercial and narrative functions of popular songs. While most scholarship on film music of the period focuses on adaptations of Broadway musicals, this book examines the functions of songs in a variety of non-musical genres, including melodramas, romantic comedies, Westerns, prison dramas, and action-adventure films, and shows how filmmakers tested and refined their approach to songs in order to reconcile the spectacle of song performance, the classical norms of storytelling, and the conventions of background orchestral scoring from the period of silent cinema. Written for film and music scholars alike as well as for general readers, Saying It With Songs illuminates the origins of the popular song score aesthetic of American cinema.
