English Alum Publishes Meditation on Music Criticism

April 11th, 2022 § 0

English Department alum Joel Heng Hartse has recently published Dancing about Architecture is a Reasonable Thing to Do: Writing about Music, Meaning, and the Ineffable, from Wipf and Stock Publishers.

According to amazon.com, Joel’s book “unpacks the rock writer Richard Meltzer’s assertion that writing about music should be a ‘parallel artistic effort’ with music itself—and argues that music and the impulse to write about it is part of the eminently mysterious desire for meaning-making that makes us human.”

Hartse is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
