Charles Wilkinson - The Harmony of the Stares, Egaeus Press, 2022

Limited to 300 copies.  Ten diversely strange tales, steeped in menace, linked in the most unexpected ways by an auricular theme. These are tales in which music often plays a role: music as ritual, music as language, impossible music, lethal music. But here also are the silences, the stop-gaps between notes, the attempted retreats from the audible world. The table of contents is as follows: The True Accompanist, Quiet Heaven, The Oboists, The Missing Part, A Gift from the Borders, The Festival of Conformity, The Harmony of the Stares, The Different Chapters, Walking in from the West and Music in the Age of Sheep. The book is  lithographically printed.

Pictorial hardcover like new.  Gilt lettering to spine.  Bumped base spine end.  Rubbed and marked on rear board.  Pictorial endpapers.

Weight     450g.    Pages    191.
