Description

The Book of Duende by Jason Webster explores the mystery at the heart of flamenco, delving into its ancient roots and deeper meanings. This unique collection of essays, aphorisms, stories, poems, and proverbs reveals duende's heritage linking it to poetic and thought traditions across North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and beyond. Duende is often associated with Spain and flamenco, but Webster shows that its universality extends far beyond these connections. This book introduces a reality beyond the ordinary from which duende originates, and aims to reconnect us to this deeper truth. With its diverse range of perspectives and insights, The Book of Duende offers a compelling exploration of the human experience. Goethe, Lorca, and Nick Cave have all spoken of duende's universality, but Webster's work makes it accessible to everyone, regardless of interest in Spain or flamenco.
