This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Notes Inégales weave skeins of klezmer around Will Self's digital essay, its touchstone Kafka's 1919 story, A Country Doctor.
This is dance as prayer and dance as fury: a violent whirl of doynas and freilachs warped over the morbid tones of Self's voice with composers Martin Butler and Peter Wiegold on keyboards and – among others – Max Baillie on clarinet and violin. Black humour and blood-red melodies from the imagined heart of Middle Europe.
