Orchestra of the disappeared continues the series of short texts in prose that Francisco Javier Irazoki initiated in 2006 with the intermittent men. It enlarges the delicate drawing of his personal landscapes, combining the notes of evocation, directly autobiographical, with that special skill of his for the creation of images and symbols, with notable presence of beings that are part of his orchestra of affections: already disappeared relatives, artists, Curious types, people who embody some sort of aesthetic or moral value, or who for one reason or another left in the writer, in the poet, a lesson of life. Here is a book made of memories, gratitude and quiet pleasures. It is the book of a positive man who draws between narration, poetry and generous moral commitment a definition of himself and his time, all wrapped in the neatly chiseled prose that characterizes his style.
