Today I looked at Music & Literature no. 4, a journal devoted to deep dives of a relatively small number of writers and musicians/composers. In this case, the people under discussion were:
Brazilian novelist, Clarice Lispector
Irish double bassist and composer, Barry Guy
Swiss early music violinist, Maya Homburger
American poet, Mary Truefle
I talk a little about each of them, with side-trips to Rachel Kushner, Hélène Cixous, and Benjamin Moser, author of the biography of Clarice Lispector, Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector
And I want to leave you with a piece of Barry Guy music that I liked, After the Rain.
I went back and looked for additional photos of Hélène Cixous and found one where she has on her "sphinx" make-up.
