An intriguing book that
knits together music and life
to touch on something profound
Vivid descriptions of contemporary Beijing
... Yu writes in
clear, unadorned pros
e and deftly threads the
magic-realist elements
through the main narrative
Transporting, searching and poetic
This
playful, often surreal
novel packs in plenty ... an elusive tale,
steeped in atmosphere
Ghost Music
has
beautiful prose
and claustrophobic imagery that intensely evokes its protagonist's alienation
Spellbinding and atmospheric
. . . With its quiet, dreamy bending of reality and its precise depiction of many different strains of alienation,
Ghost Music
is
an evocative exploration of what it means to live fully
-and the potential consequences of failing to do so. Yu braids the mundane and the magical together with a gentle hand . . .
There's something here of early Murakami's graceful, open-ended approach to the uncanny
, as well as the vivid yet muted emotionality of Patrick Modiano or Katie Kitamura. Like these skillful portraitists of alienation,
Yu conjures a visceral inbetweenness where the worlds of matter and spirit meet in a shared, suspended space
Startlingly original
Intensely atmospheric
Otherwordly and deeply moving
Real magic
