Back East there is violence, starvation, and decadence.<br/><br/>But back East, there is also flight. There is no singing in Iowa because song is the door to the freedom of flight. So Daniel and his bride Boa escape to New York for the chance of soaring free of their bodies on wings of song.<br/><br/>Boa takes flight, leaving Daniel earthbound. And Daniel sets off on a search for his song through an enchanting and bizarre world rich in black comedy and sexual adventurism.]]>

    <![CDATA[Named one of science fiction's 100 best books by noted genre editor David Pringle, Thomas M. Disch's On Wings of Song is at once allegory, social satire, political fable, and brilliantly written science fiction of the ultimate out-of-body experience. In Disch's dazzlingly imagined future America, Daniel Weinraub dreams of escaping the repressive midwest of the mid-twenty-first century through an electronic device with which the user takes flight into cyberspace when activated with a quasi-musical code called &quot;The Symphonette.&quot; Daniel's adventures take him from Iowa's God-fearing police state and its &quot;correctional&quot; labor camps for the sinful to Manhattan's mean streets and &quot;cyberspatial flight paths.&quot; ]]>
