Music & Literature Issue 1

You can now purchase the first issue of the new journal Music & Literature. This is something that I encourage you all to do right this second.

I am completely biased in this matter since I’m writing an essay for M&L’s second issue, which will focus on Laszlo Krasznahorkai. But if you have a look at Issue 1′s table of contents I think you will agree that this would be something I’d be recommending in any case.

There’s an entire folio of work on the composer Arvo Pärt, which includes the world premiere publication of a selection of Arvo Pärt’s private notebooks and scores, courtesy of the International Arvo Pärt Centre. Later in the issue you will also find as well as two lost interviews that the poet Paul Vangelisti conducted with Hubert Selby, Jr., author of the classic American novels Last Exit to Brooklyn and Requiem for a Dream.

There are also critical essays on Selby, Jr., a writer who is perhaps not nearly as appreciated these days as he should be and a folio of writing on the writer Micheline Aharonian Marcom.
