Description
The Music of Failure by Bill Holm is a lyrical and surprising collection of essays that explores the stories and places that captivate us. Written from the perspective of a writer who has returned to his hometown of Minneota, Minnesota, as "for all practical purposes a failure", this book delves into themes of life, family history, and the beauty of the Midwestern prairie. Through poignant portraits and essays, Holm mines the stories that have enthrallled him and continue to captivate his readers. This 25th anniversary edition includes new material, including an essay requested by Holm himself, as well as beautiful black-and-white photographs that bring the book's themes to life. With its unique blend of quiet victories and sublime failures, The Music of Failure is a compelling exploration of our private and common lives.
