Horrie goes searching for Arvo Pärt on the seat beside him. ... Arvo, she says in pain. I want Arvo. Its death music. Arvo in the arvo*. ... Bess stabs the tape into the machine and slowly, tidally the vehicle fills with the tolling of a bell and a descending string lick starts up. Something rolling down inevitably, compulsively, almost obsessive. Down. Diving. Skin-cracking. So beautiful it hurts. - excerpted from Dirt Music pg. 216 by Tim Winton #FictionalCharactersThatLoveArvoPärt *arvo is Australian slang for afternoon. (The music of Dirt Music is discussed from approx. 22:00 to 24:00 in the Oct 2014 BBC Radio 4 Bookclub, although Arvo Pärt is not specifically mentioned.)
