Another DeLillo novella. Intensity of perception remarkable.

Track 13 Tenor solo Bob Cooper? Track 14 Ahmad Jamal on a bad piano?

Thanks! That seems to be working. Track 7 Changes sound very familiar. "Whispering"?

Written in 1938, it predated by many years the liberalisation of youth that came in the 50s and 60s. Couldn't have been much of a world for teenagers to grow up in.

Once again failed to cope with the downloads. Pity, as I'm intrigued to know what music was there. Looking forward to a return to streaming next month.

A great jazz biog, tho' I wouldn't have the time for 3 reads! Death of the Heart is a fine novel. Now reading: A very strange book. Ostensibly a novel, it is a ragbag of - admittedly readable - musings on the French author. I guess postmodernism has something to do with this game playing. In the end, the adjective I always come up with for Barnes - and Ian McEwan for that matter - is "slight".

Very impressed by The Offence. Have not managed to hire a DVD copy of The Hill. One day perhaps!
