A very interesting and a neat observation on your part. However, I don't know to what extent Mr. Nesser influenced the choice of music. And I don't really know enough about the music used to be able to meaningfully discuss it with you! Peter Dave!

I found it interesting that he selected Dvorak's New World Symphony (No. 9) as the music that VV listened to after being released from the hospital. Did Mr. Nesser select this music deliberately because of its somewhat "heroic" style, and/or because of the battle in the music between e flat (darkness=cancer) and the ultimate triumph of E Major, (lightness=health) or did he just select this music without any such analysis and thoughts. And, his selection of Gossec's requiem, a pretty obscure piece of music was equally interesting. All in all, I enjoyed the book a lot, as I did Borkman's Point. Any comments would be appreciated.
