| Summary: | On the surface a murder mystery--a detective's search for the killer of five people in Denver-- Expectation is also, among other things, a meditation on the relationship between language and music.<br> <br> In his newest novel, Jeffrey DeShell draws on the musical innovations of Arnold Schoenberg--by turns traditional, serial, and atonal--to inform his grammar and language. Moving progressively through specific Schoenberg compositions, DeShell complicates the surface of his text into lyrical derivatives, all the while drawing us into a murder mystery like no other as Detective Francisca Fruscella pursues both the killer and her own complicated personal history.<br> <br> By turns rapturous, rigorous, and gripping, Expectation is a thriller of another kind--and a bold venture to the limits of the mystery genre and language itself. |
