«A Musical Offering» is the novel by Luis Sagasti, published by Charco Press in paperback (117 pages, in English).
It begins with Count Keyserling's commission to Bach for music that would help him sleep, the origin of the Goldberg Variations. Sagasti weaves a hypnotic narrative that moves from Bach to Glenn Gould, from the Beatles to 4'33'' by John Cage, and from music in the concentration camps to a cosmos governed by musical order.
English translation by Fionn Petch, winner of the Valle-Inclán Prize for this translation. The original is «Una ofrenda musical» (2017); shortlisted for the Republic of Consciousness Prize.
For readers of contemporary Argentine literature, classical music, and experimental narrative.
