He takes the reader into a fictional world where a variety of characters collide: three prisoners just released from jail, a band of circus performers, a string quartet, a writer, and a bird. All are trying to survive in an absurd and hostile environment of authoritarian spectacle, at the mercy of a tyrannical buffoon, and seeking the strange counterbalance of hope in a viola player, whose stunning music just might save them all, if only for a moment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517911195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.38w x 1.00d","brand":"Antoine Volodine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39714923315381,"sku":"9781517911195","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f5841b9d-3816-43cb-8559-efab169bc411.jpg?v=1618291315","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/solo-viola-a-post-exotic-novel-9781517911195","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
