Glimpses

Really liked this book. It's the winner of 1994's World Fantasy Award for Best Novel but the subject is not your typical fantasy. The ‘fantasy' element comes in with the main character's ability to reconstruct music and he does it to the major rock icons. That's about it. But they are perhaps some of the best parts in the book, recreating scenes with The Beatles, Beach Boys, Jim Morrison and Hendrix. There's also the other part of the story where he deals with the breakdown of his marriage and somehow finding himself again, which is just as good and intensely emotional.
