Description

Blue Self-Portrait by Noémi Lefebvre is a novel about a French woman's complex encounter with an American-German pianist-composer. Her life unravels as she travels home, accompanied by her sister and a volume of Adorno's letters to Thomas Mann. Meanwhile, the pianist seeks to create a musical self-portrait inspired by Arnold Schoenberg's portrait. The story unfolds in Berlin's cultural institutions but is ultimately situated in the tension between two opposing impulses: remembering and ignoring. Lefebvre's novel navigates this precarious balance with a mix of angst and high farce. A fascinating exploration of the human experience, Blue Self-Portrait offers a nuanced portrayal of life's complexities and the power of art to express the self.
