Debussy Variations on a Mendelssohn Theme

"Debussy Variations on a Mendelssohn Theme" follows David Pearson, a self-satisfied bachelor spending Christmas Eve alone at his club while carol singers drift up from the street below. Each song triggers a memory of a different woman — Julia, Esther, Clara, Maybelle, Alice, Helena, Margaret — and a different Christmas romance that ended with the same refrain. Banlett builds his comic structure with elegant irony, until a final sequence of seven vignettes delivers a quietly devastating reversal: not one of the women spared Pearson a single thought.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
