Set in the small German city of Waltherrott, this novel is a madcap excursion from the 1980s back to 1848, the year of revolutions, then back to the time of the Black Death in the late 1340s. A startling comedy, A Night at the Opera is a tour de force in the unexpected, the bizarre, and the serendipitous.
A peculiar tale of a fictional European town and its celebrated, bizarre, yet completely ungifted composer. It is howl-out-loud funny. Why doesn't anybody know who this writer is? (It's Ray Smith, incidently, not just Smith)One of my all-time favorite books. Okay, I'm weird. But if you like PDQ Bach you should LOVE this book.
