Book 96 - Edward W. Said "Parallels and Paradoxes"
Edward W. Said "Parallels and Paradoxes: Explorations in Music and Society" (Bloomsbury)
This book is the transcript of several discussions with the two authors. The discussions are about music, but wider than music, philosophy of life and music's connection to politics and literature. The text is not edited well; one has to focus intently to keep the flow of information connected while reading. However, the reward is stunning philosophic ideas about music, such as how sound creeps out of silence. Excellent information and ideas. A recommended read.
