about

SONGS FOR THE RAT is an album of instrumental works by Jay Hosking, based on the same themes and moods as THREE YEARS WITH THE RAT, Hosking's debut novel. While not strictly a companion piece—the music stands on its own—SONGS FOR THE RAT can certainly complement the reading experience. Like THREE YEARS WITH THE RAT, this album explores the boundary between the known and the unknown, the cyclical nature of time and memory, the intersection between the natural and the artificial, and the dynamics of friendship, love, and identity.

Order THREE YEARS WITH THE RAT from your local bookstore, or buy online via any of the links listed here: www.hamishhamilton.ca/library/three-years-with-the-rat.html
