As we revisit Harry's life and consider his present, we come to see that as illusions of ourselves fall away, we are ultimately left with what is our own unique act of creation: our lives, our sonatas.Harry's sonata is tinged with existential angst as he moves inexorably to his death in this heart-wrenching novel of a man's search for himself in a world in which he has difficulty fitting.
