Description
On a flight from Berlin to Paris, a woman finds herself adrift in a sea of memories and reflections, haunted by the enigmatic "Blue Self-Portrait" of composer Arnold Schoenberg. As the plane soars through the sky, she revisits a recent, intense romantic encounter with a pianist, a relationship that mirrors the complex harmonies and dissonances of Schoenberg's own groundbreaking work. Through a stream-of-consciousness narrative, the novel delves into themes of art, music, shame, and the struggle for self-acceptance, questioning the very nature of seriousness and artistic integrity. The narrator grapples with her own perceived inadequacies, finding a strange solace and a profound connection in the shared experience of artistic creation and the enduring power of a single, evocative image.
