My Song


Author: Zaza Burchuladze


Description: 

My Song is a unique literary piece by Zaza Burchuladze, an extraordinary mixture of fiction and non-fiction. It explores the writer’s relationship with Keith Jarrett’s music.

This book is a “romance”, an ode to the sacred relationship between an artist and a listener; and to the Music itself—the sole form of art that gives meaning to our Life, and more importantly, to our Death. In a fictionalized memory narrative, this text speaks of the power of music, that could forever change the perspective of a 10-year-old boy growing up behind the Iron Curtain of the Soviet Union. Overhearing Keith Jarrett’s piece on his father’s record player would become his gateway to creativity, defining his perception of this world, and his longing for cognition.

My Song is filled with Sunlight and the sound of Music. The act of reading this “novelized music” is similar to listening to a large-scale symphony, with its rhythm and vocals.
