Morris Magellan wakes one morning to find himself stuck in a corporate
job and living the suburban dream with a wife and two children, except
this dream feels like a nightmare. Out of his depth and starting to
drift from reality, we meet Morris at the precipice. Bit by bit he is
losing his struggle with addiction - he just doesn't know it yet. His
only solace and escape from suburban family life and corporate duties is
music and alcohol. His life is soundtracked with symphonies and
concertos, every note, and every drink, carries him from moment to
moment hoping to salvage something of himself before that too slips from
his grasp.
Harrowing but compellingly written, with humour and compassion, The
Sound of My Voice is a stylistic masterpiece that presents conflict
between a man's cowardice and cruelty, and a desperate attempt to
recover his humanity.
