RE: fiction about music or musicians?
I seem to've missed the first few emails on this topic -- has anyone mentioned Pynchon's "The Paranoids" from CoL49? Phil @ TNT

Nope--you're the first. There's also the amalgam of Ornette and Monk who shows up in _V._ and the telepathy-only jam in the short story "Entropy," which you can find in _Slow Learner_. (The man himself quite disavows that story, fwiw.) -M -- Maurice Rickard http://mauricerickard.com/

Not to mention the bar where the engineers from Yoyodine go play improvised music that's described as it wouldn't be out of place on an Erstwhile disc :) There is also a book by Patrick Süskind named "La Contrebasse" (don't know the English title, and I never knew how this instrument is called in English: contrabass? double bass?) which is the monologue of a musician talking to his instrument. -- Julien Quint http://ui.universinternational.org/univers.html
