Beschreibung

<p><b>Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2014<br><br>''A magnificent and moving novel'' <i>LOS ANGELES TIMES</i></b><br><br>Seventy-year-old avant-garde composer Peter Els opens the door one evening to find the police on his doorstep. His home microbiology lab - where he is conducting the latest experiment in his lifelong attempt to find musical patterns in surprising places - has aroused the suspicions of Homeland Security.<br><br>Panicked by the raid, Els turns fugitive, earning him the moniker ''Bioterrorist Bach''. He hatches a daring plan to transform this disastrous collision with the security state into an unforgettable work of art that will reawaken its audience to the sounds all around it.<br><br>A gripping escape narrative filled with lyrical wonder, <i>Orfeo</i> is both a portrait of a creative, obsessive man, and a reflection on finding melodies in everyday life.</p>
