‘Where Nothing Happens’
In today’s installment of “Friends of the Library” (FOL), composer Nico Muhly talks to the New York Times on the ‘ecstatic disruption’* of Philip Glass ‘s music.
Check out Nico’s take on “Music in 12 Parts:”
“Philip’s body of work has these forgotten gems. Finding this is like finding a door in your house to a room you never knew existed….”

The Henry Miller Library guarantees all guests the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge, and learn. It is not the proper role of the Library to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive. There are many books and stories to read, to write, to tell, and to listen to.
We hope to learn from different ideas, why and how they come to be, and what values they’re premised on. To always critique and argue in good-faith. Some ‘binaries’ that we propose on our bookshelves are: Capitalism vs. Socialism | Keynesian economics vs. Classical economics | Deontology vs. Consequentialism | Empiricism vs. Rationalism | Liberalism vs. Conservatism | Democracy vs. Authoritarianism | Cartesianism vs. Darwinism | Realism vs. Romanticism | Classicism vs. Modernism | Objectivism vs. Relativism | Virtue ethics vs. Deontological ethics | Monotheism/Polytheism/Pantheism | Protestantism vs. Catholicism | Atheism vs. Theism
What a wonderful world!
