The Bass Saxophone by Josef Skvorecky
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 1.9 MB
Overview: The two haunting, poetic novellas that comprise The Bass Saxophone brilliantly evoke the comedy and sadness of life under the Nazi and Soviet dictatorships. They are prefaced by a remarkable memoir of Skvorecky’s jazz-obsessed youth. Jazz is a symbol of freedom in both these novellas.
In Emoke, which is set in the shadow of the Communist regime, jazz becomes the means by which a jaded young man plots the seduction of a mysterious girl enmeshed in superstition and the occult. Spurned, but fascinated, he is drawn into her tortured existence until catapulted into the final bitter comedy.
In The Bass Saxophone a young Czechoslovakian student living under the rule of the Nazis is lured by his love of jazz – the "forbidden music" – into secretly and dangerously playing in a German band, with bizarre and unexpected results.
