In its fifteen essays, <em>The Kuhreihen Melody</em> examines nostalgia from various angles through an array of lenses. In the title essay, the author revisits his ghost-ridden hometown. "Swimming with Oliver" presents a mosaic of memories of his watery friendship with author-neurologist Oliver Sacks ."The Strange Case of Arthur Silz "investigates the sixty-year-old murder of a Greenwich Village artist on a mountain in Mexico, while "The Opening Credits of <em>Rebel Without a Cause</em>" conducts a granular dissection of the first minute and twenty-three seconds of that iconic American film. From barbershops to stripes to a boy's drowning death blamed on the author, <em>The Kuhreihen Melody </em>turns a wistful eye on bygone people, places, and things, and finally on nostalgia itself.</p>
