Bach in the Park

Imagine what it would be like sitting on a bench in a park, minding your own business when suddenly, you find J. S. Bach next to you.

This is a story about living, loving, dying, temporality, rationality, and emotionality. Bach wants to play rather than answer questions, but perhaps if we listen carefully to his music, we could get a sense of what the other dimension may be like.

A novel written during the long weeks of isolation in the winter of the second Covid lockdown, Bach’s music has been a faithful companion during Paola’s daily walks, coffee in hand, to an old rusty bench in a nearby park.
