Sinossi

Jeremy Cooper, the author of Brian, returns with Discord, a subjective journey through the world of classical music. On a night in August, an audience at the Royal Albert Hall attends the first ever concert of Distant Voices. The Proms performance is the culmination of a year's work between the middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet. Alternating between both perspectives, Discord charts the course of their intense and at times fractious relationship, the resonances and dissonances both women find within one another, as well as the struggles and satisfactions that accompany an artistic life. At the heart of the novel is an inquiry into the generative force behind creative collaboration. In what ways does the inexpressible – that amorphous space of friction and unity between musicians – become indelible? And by what process do flawed individuals create works of transcendence? Deeply insightful, at turns poignant and wry, Discord affirms Jeremy Cooper's status as one of the most interesting fiction writers at work today.

    A boy grows up dreaming, and loses his mother, his faith and the women he loves in turn, dying without ever becoming the poet he was certain he was. Jens Peter Jacobsen was a botanist who translated Darwin into Danish and died at thirty-eight; Rilke carried this book about with him and called it one of the two he could not do without. It is the novel that taught northern Europe how to write an inner life. Sixty plates of Danish and Italian light by Eckersberg, Købke and their heirs carry the northern inner life this novel taught Europe to write.

    In my line of work my phone is ringing constantly. It's my most important business tool, and so I don't spend much thought about when or where to answer it - it's a natural reflex. So when one day, I was out early to prepare a house for a potentially interested couple, I got a call from an undisclosed number, I wasn't very surprised by it; it happens all the time. 
    "Hi," said a female voice on the other end of the line. "So, where were we?" 
    "Hi," I replied, pausing for a moment to think who it might be that called. Did I forget an appointment? Was there a conversation that got interrupted? 
    Before I could say anything else, the voice continued: "Ah right. You were going to tell me how wet you are."

    A man courts a young woman by way of her small nephew, who conducts the campaign for him with rather more energy than tact — a summer, a river, a garden and an entirely successful conspiracy. Farnol painted scenery in New York theatres and wrote his first novel on scraps between shifts, after a Birmingham foundry sacked him for fighting; this is his lightest book, and the boys are drawn without a grain of sugar. Fifty-nine plates of gardens, rivers and young ladies in boats, from Sargent and Tissot among others, follow the courtship's own scenery across a century and more of painting.
