Full description for The Musical Illusionist
Fiction. In the tradition of Borges and Calvino, THE MUSICAL ILLUSIONIST is an interwoven collection of postmodern folk tales--disappearing manuscripts, neurological anomalies, teleporting bacteria, and an unforgettable composer who manipulates sound to bend perception--that masterfully blend scientific curiosity with magical-realist caprice. Alex Rose has published stories and essays for McSweeney's, the North American Review, the Providence Journal, the Forward, the Science Creative Quarterly, and DIAGRAM. He has also directed a number of short films that have appeared on HBO, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime, and the BBC.
