Moira Orfei in Aigues-Mortes

"Peopled by piano-playing relatives, prostitutes, muses, and manipulators, poet and cultural critic Wayne Koestenbaum's first novel uses ivory keys as instruments of delirium. Moira Orfei in Aigues-Mortes shines a hot light on the treacherous crossroads of sex, death, family, and musical culture."--BOOK JACKET.
