Oscar
About this book
"Inspired by the legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, and imbued with magical realism, Mauricio Segura evokes the atmosphere of the cabarets of 1950s in this swinging novel. Segura offers a fascinating reflection on the bonds between an artist and the community he comes from, celebrity, and the commercialization of art. But above all, it's a poignant homage to a music giant."--
