Vexations
a novella by J. E. Grigsby
Vexations blends
historical fiction with a healthy dose of magical realism, as it
illuminates the evolution of Erik Satie’s enigmatic musical
composition, Vexations ~ from its creation at the close of Satie’s 1893
love affair with artist Suzanne Valadon in Paris, to its 1963 premiere
by John Cage in New York City.
