What is wrong with culture?,
By
This review is from: El contrabajo / The Double Bass (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Could someone please explain to me how such a wonderful book can be out of print? what is wrong with culture? The Contrabass is a novella writen by german author Patrick Suskind, yes, the same man who wrote The Perfume. But this time he chose to work with another sense: hearing. And his protagonist is not a killer but a hollow man, a contrabassist (Did I say it well?)the man in the orchestra who hardly will be a soloist. Instead of a decadent city, the whole novella happens in a room, where the contrabassist prepares himself for a concert and tells the reader, or the audience, about his life. This beautiful novella, or is it a play? is a microcosm of the life of a simple man: full of doubts, full of pain, full of solitude. A shame, shame, shame that such a beautiful work about a man whose lifework is music, cant be found for the reader and the musiclover to enjoy
