The Madness of Mrs Tchaikovsky

Of the author’s own invention, this novel contains perhaps the newest and most creative literary technique of the twenty first century. The technique uses dialogue as structure. As the only aspect of people’s interactions that are entirely objective, the dialogue serves as the structure. Alternate scenes are constructed from two characters’ points of view, as their subjective interpretation of the dialogue. The story of composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky and his wife, who were on such entirely different wavelengths, is particularly conducive to the new literary technique.
