Jonke Gert - Distant Sound - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A composer who has already given up composing - because of his inability to notate the music of the spheres - becomes increasingly fixated on capturing a mysterious eerie distant sound which he soon equates with all the things he desires most: the perfect woman the perfect city the perfect work of art. Obsessed with his impossible quest the man breaks out of the asylum and begins a series of comic dreamlike and ultimately haunting adventures as he tries to locate the source of the sound that consumes him and instead finds the root cause of all his failures.
