      Brother and sister, Sean and Colleen Callaghan share a relationship of love, loyalty, and perseverance. Their early childhood in a dysfunctional orphanage run by sisters focused on corporal punishment created a bond that carries them through a hard scrapple existence. Living through tough times in the Big Apple while concurrently 20th century history plays out, Sean and Colleen are challenged at every step. Sean grows from petty thief to booze-running during Prohibition, to waterfront dock boss. Colleen starts out running a speakeasy that transitions into an upscale restaurant catering to the well-heeled New York crowd, politicians, and Sean's less-than-legit pals. The Callaghans' saga spans pre-WWI to post WWII and is a true New York City story with colorful characters from waterfront toughs, bootleggers, slick gangsters, Nazi spies, and seductive women. When Sean is accused of murder and found guilty, the bond shared by the siblings is brought to its greatest test. The Callaghans are so fiercely loyal to each other their story will break your heart and keep you turning pages.

      Eine Oper aus vier Tönen, ein Libretto aus Lexikonartikeln, Musik auf der Basis mathematischer Rechenmodelle, eine Ästhetik der Vorhersehbarkeit – der Komponist Tom Johnson ist einer der originellsten Einzelgänger der zeitgenössischen Musik. Seine „Four Note Opera“ und die „Riemannoper“, „Nine Bells“, seine Zählstücke wie „Narayana’s Cows“, die „Rational Melodies“ und sein „Self Portrait“ für Ensemble und Pappkartons sind längst moderne Klassiker. Mit seinen Artikeln für die New Yorker Wochenzeitung Village Voice hat sich Tom Johnson einen bleibenden Namen auch als Musikkritiker gemacht, der früher und konsequenter als andere den spektakulären Aufstieg der Minimal Music dokumentierte. 1939 geboren im US-amerikanischen Colorado, ausgebildet an der Yale University und privat bei Morton Feldman, seit langem in Paris lebend, hat Tom Johnson seine Arbeit als Komponist vielfältig begleitet mit Schriften, Aufsätzen und Werkkommentaren, die in dieser englisch-deutschen Ausgabe erstmals gesammelt zugänglich sind.
