A surreal audio drama about a village caught in a loop it can't remember, a sky without stars, and the strange lives drawn into its orbit. In Gratch Hollow, a dying stranger wakes to the same violent moment again and again. A pig-man named Jon, hulking and powerful, offers comfort to those who need it. The seamstress tells stories of constellations no one has seen. And a young girl named Sara studies equations that could rewire all of time. Many of their truths never happened.

In this fascinating new biography, the breadth of Bernstein’s musical composition is explored, through the spectacular range of music he composed—from West Side Story to Kaddish to A Quiet Place and beyond—and through his intensely public role as an internationally celebrated conductor.
