A dying man lies in bed and embarks on a mental monologue on the
mechanization of the arts, represented in the appearance of a
mechanical piano. His reflections become a piercing diatribe
against modern society and its deep-seated desires for fame and
fortune. This novel is a heartbreaking story that does not grant
any reprieve, and a superb diagnosis of the effects of technology,
not only in the arts, but at the very core of contemporary everyday
life. "Un hombre que yace en cama moribundo se embarca en un
monologo mental a partir de la mecanizacion de las artes,
representada en la aparicion de la pianola. Su reflexion termina
por ser una punzante diatriba contra la sociedad moderna, con sus
arraigados anhelos de fortuna y reconocimiento. Esta novela es un
relato desgarrador que no concede respiro alguno y que es un
magnifico diagnostico de los efectos de la tecnologia, no solo en
el arte, sino en lo mas hondo de la vida cotidiana contemporanea."
