Music Man isa short storyabouta homeless musician in New York City who's about to go on an extraordinary journey
It's the final nightnarrated by a beat poetnamedDikonwho can't fit into the world untill the world starts falling apart
What Lee Curits of Aphelion wrote about Music Man:
"This story has a very attractive quality to it; it uses repeating themes about light such as:
The red setting sun bleached through the buildings surrounding the intersection like cracked ice under a bed of bourbon
and:
But the light in the room there was something about that dim light that brushed against his skin like waves of change like something was about to happen
as well as the repeating theme of breaking glass and it all sets a mood that is poetic and surreal vaguely threatening but not definable The contrast of themes suggests danger and hope
This all produces a very effective but subtle atmosphere and builds gently to the climax at the end which I was a little surprised at but not disappointed with -- at all"
