Hymn for the Romanticist
Featuring “The GREATEST DEPICTION of MUSIC in All Literature.“
Lucid Fitzpatrick’s literary love song to music.
Hymn for the Romanticist on Amazon Kindle
Hymn for The Romanticist is the first release from Lucid Fitzpatrick’s collection of short stories titled, Hymn. In this collection, Fitzpatrick explores how we experience music and the need for music in human life.
Set against the backdrop of the 2020 pandemic, five creators experience a beautiful work of music in dramatically different ways. Learn how a single piece of music can make a radio host face the consequence of his own compromise, help a struggling author deal with a reality that seems incompatible with the ideals he portrays in the worlds he creates, and leave a ruthless business mogul at the peak of his career utterly defeated.
In Hymn for the Romanticist, the reader meets Deidrick Lourne, a romantic novelist trying to rationalize the idealistic characters in his stories amidst life in isolation and lockdown under the threat of the pandemic. Through Hymn for the Romanticist, Fitzpatrick explores how music can inspire a creator to action even in a world stuck in stasis.
Lucid Fitzpatrick follows the tradition set by the romanticists, Victor Hugo and Ayn Rand. In addition to Richard Bach, their work inspired Fitzpatrick to become a writer, and he drew inspiration from their writing. The novels Illusions: The Adventures of a Relutctant Messiah (Richard Bach), Toilers of the Sea (Victor Hugo) and The Fountainhead (Ayn Rand) are direct influences on the style, characters, and content in all Firzpatrick’s Writing.
Fans of Bach, Hugo, and Rand will find Lucid Fitzpatrick’s writing both familiar and refreshing.
