In this excerpt from Between Two Sounds, we see the moment when the
Estonian composer begins to run afoul of the Soviet regime.

    OK, the point in the Part extract where the political commissar
    has stuffed his glasses on his forehead and pinches his eye
    sockets in despair at how "difficult" a case Part is is pure
    comedy. No printed words needed; the picture tells it all. I
    laughed in surprise and delight! I've never read a graphic novel
    before (or is it a comic strip?) I am stunned that the
    seriousness and beauty of Part's story could be captured in the
    medium of a graphic novel. AND, that words and pictures could
    make me want to listen to his music. This is amazing. I'd like to
    read the whole thing. I've ordered a copy. Thank you.

From Between Two Sounds: Arvo Part's Journey to His Musical Language,
this week's featured book.
