Why this music
Because the book sits in that grey, ironic space between tragedy and farce, the playlist stays low and unhurried — sparse piano, Central European folk textures, and the quiet melancholy of Hungarian chamber music. It carries the flatness of the Puszta without drama, only occasionally letting a darker pulse surface, the way grief does when nobody is watching.
