Reviews

Republic of Consciousness Prize (Shortlist)"Una fascinante suite de historias sobre música, tanto escuchada como desconocida." —The Arts Desk"Una interpretación hermosa y fragmentaria que siempre da con la nota precisa." —Irish Times"Una ofrenda musical no es tanto un intento de escribir sobre música sino una verdadera partitura que usa palabras como un nuevo tipo de notación."" —Will Ashon , autor de CHAMBER MUSIC y STRANGE LABYRINTH"El equivalente literario a una sinfonía." —Books and Bao"Sagasti articula sus elementos magistralmente. Con sutileza y destreza, entreteje nuevos hilos en su tapiz." —BookBlast"Un trabajo de inmensa complejidad, con un gran balance y una belleza extraordinaria." —The Monthly Booking"Sagasti logra crear un mundo rico en iluminaciones y reflexiones filosóficas." —Morning Star"La cuidadosa construcción a contrapunto de Sagasti entreteje una variedad de viñetas eclécticas que trascienden sus partes, dejando un impacto emocional indeleble que desafía la racionalización." —Gutter Magazine"Adquirí conocimientos que no sabía que necesitaba." —Joyzine**********
