Echo's Fugue - Paperback
by Desirae Matherly (Author)
Through a series of variations on the theme of love-unrequited, polyamorous, monogomous, scandalous, adulterous-Desirae Matherly's Echo's Fugue explores love in all its failures and delusions. Patterned on the unfinished The Art of Fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach which has been a mystery for centuries, Echo's Fugue undertakes Bach's project in prose-the tantalizing numerical correspondences throughout, the repetition of a single theme, the unfinished final piece.
What authority speaks clearest with regard to love, sex, and desire-and is objectivity even possible? The final essay attempts to resolve this question while echoing the puzzle of Bach's final unfinished fugue.
