Music & Literature 3 brings to light the life's work of three artists who have to date been denied--by geography, by language, and by politics--their rightful positions on the world stage. The Australian writer Gerald Murnane, a rumored Nobel Prize candidate, has been deemed 'a genius on the level of Beckett' by Teju Cole, who opens this issue with a spirited exchange of long letters with the Aussie great. For the first time, Murnane's entire catalog is introduced by top writers and critics, and we glimpse his three remarkable archives, which the author insists will remain unpublished until after his death. 'The Interior of Gaaldine,' the infamous text that explains his fourteen-year absence from the world of fiction, rounds out more than 120 pages of new material on and by one of our finest yet little-known Anglophone writers. The issue's second half is devoted to the Slovak composer Vladimír Godár and his unlikely collaborator, the Moravian violinist-singer Iva Bittová, who honed their crafts under the pall of the Communist regime and who only in recent years have begun cultivating worldwide audiences. Now, for the first time, Godár's artistic writings as well as his manuscripts are available in English, alongside a portfolio of photographs and an oral history of Bittová's career, as told by some of her closest collaborators and artistic partners.
