Abstract :
[en] The article seeks to give an overview of Phillips’s musical prose and to gauge its emotional
impact on the readers. It concentrates on three novels by Phillips: The Lost Child
(2015) where music is thematically present, The Nature of Blood (1997) which stylistically
approximates music, and Dancing in the Dark (2005) which relies on both forms of relations
between music and literature.
