More about the book
The novel presents a humorous critique of the eccentric composer Simon Silber through the eyes of his increasingly frustrated biographer. As he documents Silber's bizarre musical creations, such as an hour-long rendition of the "Minute Waltz" and compositions made from crow caws, the biographer's disdain for his subject grows. This satirical exploration not only highlights Silber's inflated self-importance but also delves into the absurdity of artistic pretensions, blending high entertainment with sharp wit.
