Beschreibung

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Overstory, an emotionally charged novel inspired by the myth of Orpheus.

"Bravo, Richard Powers, for hitting so many high notes with Orfeo and contributing to the fraction of books that really matter." ―Heller McAlpin, NPR
In Orfeo, composer Peter Els opens the door one evening to find the police on his doorstep. His home microbiology lab―the latest experiment in his lifelong attempt to find music in surprising patterns―has aroused the suspicions of Homeland Security. Panicked by the raid, Els turns fugitive and hatches a plan to transform this disastrous collision with the security state into an unforgettable work of art that will reawaken its audience to the sounds all around it.

Peter Els is a musician and hobby-chemist. After the demise of his beloved dog Fidelio he gets visited by the police who find bacteria samples that might make him a terrorist. Instead of explaining himself and turning himself in, he decides to be a fugitive and visits old friends and family while reminiscing in his past.

Great book to read if you have an art block. His descriptions of how he views music really give inspiration to be creative yourself. It tends to be a bit hard to read if you’re not familiar with a lot of musical vocabulary. In the end it also gets a bit lengthy but still enjoyable to read. The only thing I am quite unhappy about is the ending, it could have been a bit more obviously written ( I struggled with figuring out wether what I thought happened was true or not)
