Mahler Erasures

The narrative follows Harold Lime, a once-celebrated poet now living in isolation in a Cambridge basement. Stripped of his former glory and grappling with age, he finds his solitude disrupted by a fox hunt saboteur, leading to a complex relationship that serves as both a connection and a confession. As he immerses himself in Mahler's music, each symphony evokes memories of his Australian youth and ignites reflections on the intertwining of body and soul, exploring themes of commitment, connectedness, and the struggle between rootedness and unrootedness in a flawed world.
