A poetic book of voices, landscapes and the passing of time, Ann Quin's finely wrought novel reflects the multiple yearnings of the very word 'passages'. Two characters move through the book: a woman in search of her brother, and her lover (a masculine reflection of herself) in search of himself. The form of the novel, reflecting the schizophrenia of the characters, is split into two sections: a narrative and a diary annotated with those thoughts that provoked the entries.

Three was the second of Ann Quin's novels to be published. It tells the story of Ruth and Leonard, a couple who had taken in a young woman (here called 'S') who, apparently, committed suicide. The past is revisited, largely as seen through S's eyes, often surprising Ruth and Leonard who, in part, harbour different memories - and had imagined S's life differently as well.

In Tripticks, Quin's spoof of the 'typical' maladjusted family lays bare the hypocrisy of modern consumerism in a masterpiece of pre-punk aesthetics.

The seventh volume of Music &amp; Literature opens with a celebration of the prolific Welsh novelist, music critic, and librettist Paul Griffiths. Two exclusive interviews and generous selections of his musical and creative writings offer insight into Griffiths' extensive career and his many sources of inspiration, from Shakespeare to Japanese Noh theatre. Recent collaborations, including the song cycle 'let me tell you,' based on Griffiths Oulipian novel containing only the words spoken by Ophelia in Hamlet, and Gulliver, based on Jonathan Swift's classic satire, receive particular attention, with contributions from partners Barbara Hannigan and James Wood, among others, testifying to Griffiths status as one of the Anglophone world's premiere--and under-acknowledged--talents. Meanwhile, Ann Quin published just four novels before her death at the age of thirty-seven, but in the decades since has come to be recognized as one of the most original voices of her no-longer-modern, not-quite-postmodern generation. Collected here, alongside a pair of Quin's provocative and darkly humorous short stories, are new critical appreciations of her life's work by leading contemporary writers, who pay tribute to Quin's enduring legacy and influence. Finally, the compositions and performances of Russian-born artist Lera Auerbach have filled the most prestigious halls and stages around the world, while her visual art has filled some of its most renowned spaces. From the opening act of her play 'Gogol,' which was staged by the legendary John Neumeier, to appreciations of her poetry, this portfolio surveys the work of a genuine Renaissance woman.
