Synopsis
Toy Symphony
$23.99
Published by Currency Press
Roland Henning has writer's block
When he tries to explain the situation to a therapist, his story begins to tumble back and forth between his childhood in The Shire and his work as a playwright
At the root of it all is that extraordinary day in primary school which shattered his boyhood and plunged him headlong into the dizzy circus of life and art
His story is funny, fiercely eloquent and shockingly honest
Toy Symphony is a wrestle between the vicious bastardry of being an artist and the sheer exhilaration of the creative act
