It's incredible what a vessel music is: if you carry the song with you, you bring along a hologram of the entire thing, if not the thing itself. Over time, as my relationship to sound transformed so did my relationship to the text, until eventually, my relationship with music had transformed so completely that I knew I could not touch the text anymore. While I could never imagine any popularly recognizable music in the story - save for one instance - it was crucial to keep myself grounded in music, the relationship between sound and silence, and the possibilities between the extremes. Some of these tracks and albums were thematic clarifiers, others kept me anchored to the labor, and others gave me relief from it. In its evolution from spoken word poems to screenplay/sound score to book - and as an effort to animate landscape and architecture - The Glacier originated in sound and ends in sound. In his own words, here is Jeff Wood's Book Notes music playlist for his novel The Glacier: Stream a playlist of these songs at Spotify.

Jeff Wood's The Glacier is an innovatively told book, a truly cinematic novel. Boyle, Dana Spiotta, Amy Bloom, Aimee Bender, Jesmyn Ward, Heidi Julavits, Hari Kunzru, and many others.
