This inscrutable masterpiece has been on my mind and in my bones for some years and, from the unusual hold it has on me, I would think a lifetime or more. Many people who know me know that when they are over my house I have forced them to listen to me play it. I think I may finally have a reasonable take on it, for now—linked above. I should share that something really clicked for me this past Monday, the day after I went to see Panahi’s magisterial Dayereh at Metrograph. The message of both works seems so strongly to align that the discovery—and its relationship to my own life—was transformative.
