" We cannot understand the phenomenon of remembering without invoking its opposite, forgetting. Taking his cue from Beckett - 'only he who forgets remembers' - Josipovici uncovers a profound cultural shift from societies that celebrated ritual remembrance at fixed times and places, to our own Western world where the lack of such mechanisms leads to a fear of forgetting, to what Nietzsche diagnosed as an unhealthy sleeplessness that infec ..."
"He had a good collection of early music and his one indulgence was
occasionally adding to it – Harnoncourt and the Concentus Musicus of Vienna he
particularly admired, and he would often put on their superb recording of
Monteverdi's Orfeo with the dazzling Jeanne Deroubaix as the Messenger: A te
ne vengo, Orfeo, Messaggiera infelice, Dicaso più infelice epiù funesto: La tua
bella Euridice... I come to you, Orpheus, An ill-fated bea ..."

"In the course of a single extensive interview, this novel recounts the colorful life of a wealthy, eccentric Italian composer through multiple layers of unreality. As Massimo recalls what his master, Tancredo Pavone, told him about his life, he often repeats Pavone’s outrageous opinions on everything from the current state of the world to the inner life of each musical note. Eventually, it becomes comically clear that not only does Pavo ..."

"William Shakespeare's Hamlet is probably the best-known and most commented upon work of literature in Western culture.
