Abstract
Using the concept of the musical imaginary to bring together an unorthodox mix of cultural and psychoanalytic theory, music cognition, and recent musicology, this essay examines the way Vikram Seth, in An Equal Music, narrativizes the real of musical meaning and its repression through "normalization" in professional music-making.
