Blinding Moment: Four Pieces About Composers

Kling (German and comparative literature, La Salle U.) provides a translation of Gert Jonke's Blinding Moment, Four Pieces About Composers. Jonke (1946-2009), was an Austrian experimental novelist, playwright, and poet noted for his astute, unconventional, and often hilarious observations on life's struggles and victories. Kling also includes an afterword which provides a substantial amount of background information and an examination of Jonke's comic vision. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
