- Summary:
- In the tradition of Borges and Calvino, The Musical Illusionist is an interwoven collection of postmodern folk tales-disappearing manuscripts, neurological anomalies, teleporting bacteria, and an unforgettable composer who manipulates sound to bend perception-that masterfully blends scientific curiosity with magical-realist caprice.
- Alex Rose has published stories and essays for McSweeney's, the North American Review, The Providence Journal, the Forward, The ScienceCreative Quarterly, and DIAGRAM. He has also directed a number of short films that have appeared on HBO, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime, and the BBC.
