Music

The book "Music" by Thomas Meinecke offers a captivating narrative that centers on the flight attendant Karol's passion for music. He observes how musical styles evolve over time, from light swing to complex bebop and the return of disco in the underground scene. Alongside this, the perspective of his sister Kandis, a writer who engages with the historical aspects of women's writing, is highlighted. Their conversations about the intertwining of gender and desire create an intellectual puzzle that appeals to both feminists and music lovers. The storytelling is characterized by an engaging rhythm that draws readers into the narrative and encourages them to reflect on the complex themes addressed in the book. Elfriede Jelinek describes the style as so captivating that one cannot stop reading.
