Description

A poignant debut novel about an unlikely friendship that blossoms into a lifelong bond. Jan de Vries, a talented pianist, is haunted by debilitating auditory hallucinations that threaten to destroy his career and his sense of self. As the disorder intensifies, he turns to his childhood friend Dirk Noosen for comfort and solace.

With a masterful balance of emotional resonance and restraint, Eric Beck Rubin tells the tender story of Jan's obsessive friendship with Dirk as they reconnect and confront their past. This luminous novel explores themes of music, repression, regret, adolescence, sex, and the enduring power of love.
