Schubert as Sex Symbol?

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
At a time when “Chick Lit” is a hot literary form – detailing the lives, loves, adventures of young single urban women – there’s a new book that takes an unusual spin on the genre. Bonnie Marson's "Sleeping with Schubert" depicts the Austrian composer as a sexy, happening kind of guy and has been described in the Washington Post as a "dazzling, touching, funny and original tale." It also asks the question: How can a great composer from the 19th century coexist in the everyday life of a modern American woman? Marson joins us to sort it all out. Also on the show, managing editor of NewMusicBox.org and a columnist for New York Press, joins us to preview the upcoming Joe’s Pub in the Park series. The new concert series by the downtown cabaret takes place the pastoral confines of Central Park.
