      What if readers had the power to choose what their favourite author writes about? Conductor and birdwatcher Lev Parikian responds to his readers' requests with this collection of witty, fascinating essays on music, birds, the art of the sandwich, and much more

      Today’s reader has choices: books about love, aboutlife, about death – and everything in between. The variety is overwhelming, bewildering.

      But what if the reader could play a part inproducing something different, something about everything, about nothing, abouteverything and nothing at the same time? What if the reader could tell thewriter what to write about?

      Lev Parikian asked his readers those veryquestions, gathered their responses and then set out to write that book. Musicto Eat Cake By is the result, a collection of essays exploring everythingfrom the art of the sandwich and space travel to how not to cure hiccups and,of course, his beloved birdsong. Lev considers each subject with his signaturewit and warmth, inviting the reader to wonder: what might we ask him to writeabout next?
