bookshelves: fucking, historical-fiction, mythos, double-narrative

Double narrative of Berlioz's Faust + primeval taboo love incest. Because thematic overtones are apparently sufficient for melding two half-stories together.

Some interesting comments on music (playing vs composition vs conducting vs recording) and sex (having and not having) in pretty/purple prose. The sort of book which bedevils one with boredom for a page or two and then floors the reader with an out of sight insight. Kind of like life, I guess.
