Items related to The Devil's Trill
In search of work, Triclinio takes up the violin and migrates to Buenos Aires. There he finds political convulsions, coups, tanks and tear-gas: sounds that threaten to drown any music he might make. A chance encounter with a tottering president raises Triclinio?s hopes that once more music might be heard. But the thunderous noise of the rebels? tanks grows to a crescendo and the presidential guard is overcome. Silence descends on the country - a silence that paradoxically affects the torturers more than the tortured.

Review:
?Daniel Moyano has taken a history of violent repression and created a dazzling nonsymphony out of it. A book of dissonant music - blunt and difficult, lush and whimsical, and as memorable as it is unsettling? VLS ?Daniel Moyano is a superb writer...the absence of an English translation of his writing is one of those literary lapses one reads about as happening to other places and other ages? Andrew Graham-Yooll ?An eloquent defence of artistic integrity and freedom...the book is a real triumph? John King
