Simon Silber has a huge ego, a pushy father, a house full of pianos, a closet full of tuxedos in short, all the trappings of musical genius except genius itself. He seeks inspiration by walking around town with his eyes shut, or by transcribing the pattern of crows perched on his backyard power lines. His singular contributions to modern music an hourlong performance of the Minute Waltz, an etude composed on a telephone keypad, a chord-a-day diary, among many others may not please the ear, but they delight the fancy. As recounted by his biographer-cum-friend-cum-enemy, Norm Fayrewether, Silbers life story becomes the tragicomic personification of thwarted potential. Norm, himself a frustrated artist (if writing aphorisms can be called an art), mingles biography with autobiography, treating us to an uproarious exploration of the nether realm between brilliance and the desire for it. Norms fraught relationship with Silber also sheds piercing light on the volatile bonds between artist and subject, mentor and protg, truth and self-promotion.Simon Silber evokes classics of unreliable narration from Nabokovs Pale Fire to Steven Millhausers Edwin Mullhouse, but it charts a path all its own with artful lampoons of the classical music scene, antic turns of phrase, and an infectious reverence for the mundane.
