The title, thought not the story, was inspired by a song by Leonard Cohen, "Dance me to the end of love"

 

 

In Graeme's words:

I first heard the song at a folk festival in Signet Tasmania. It was performed by a band called 'Monsieur Camembert'. It captured the essence of the book that was forming in my mind.

On a boat trip to Tasmania, Australia, to attend the folk festival, I shared the dinner table with a young woman, and over dinner she had told me about her recent trip to Africa, it is always best to get a woman talking about herself, that way she thinks you are more interesting. One of the highlights of her trip had been a visit to Zanzibar. She told me about a sailing tour she had taken on a dhow from Old Stone Town - the capital of Zanzibar. One of her strong memories was barking her shin on a wooden crate, which had been carelessly thrown onto the back of the dhow. It turned out to be a roughhewn coffin.

That stuck in my mind. It was the genesis of an idea that was the basis for the novel.

Leonard Cohens poignant and beautiful song seemed to capture the essence of the story.

 

 

In Leonard Cohen's own words

The Song, 'Dance Me to the End of Love'  although structured as a love song was in fact inspired by the Holocaust.

'Dance Me to the End Of Love' ... it's curious how songs begin because the origin of the song, every song, has a kind of grain or seed that somebody hands you or the world hands you and that's why the process is so mysterious about writing a song. But that came from just hearing or reading or knowing that in the death camps, beside the crematoria, in certain of the death camps, a string quartet was pressed into performance while this horror was going on, those were the people whose fate was this horror also. And they would be playing classical music while their fellow prisoners were being killed and burnt. So, that music, "Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin," meaning the beauty there of being the consummation of life, the end of this existence and of the passionate element in that consummation. But, it is the same language that we use for surrender to the beloved, so that the song -- it's not important that anybody knows the genesis of it, because if the language comes from that passionate resource, it will be able to embrace all passionate activity.
