For my son
‘If we fetishise trauma as incommunicable then survivors are trapped – unable to feel truly known . . . You don’t honour someone by telling them, “I can never imagine what you’ve been through.” Instead, listen to their story and try to imagine being in it, no matter how hard or uncomfortable that feels.’
– Phil Klay, veteran, US Marine Corps

PRELUDE
CLASSICAL MUSIC MAKES ME HARD.
I know that’s not a hugely promising opening sentence for some people. But if you scratch the word ‘classical’, perhaps it’s not quite so bad. Maybe it even becomes understandable. Because now, with the word ‘music’, we have something universal, something exciting, something intangible and immortal.
