PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:

A powerful story of pain and redemption told to the tune of the blues, as an expression of black poetry and black tragedy, and how they sit in judgment on the American experience. In modern-day New York, aging blues man Soupspoon Wise is alone, ill, and dying. Once, in the Mississippi Delta, he had the opportunity to play with the great genius of country blues, Robert "RL" Johnson. This encounter haunts Soupspoon, as "RL" himself is said to have been possessed by Satan. When Soupspoon meets Kiki Waters, a young white refugee from the South who takes him in, he tells her his story. Mosley breathes life into people who live on the margins of American life, teaching us that we can't know who we are until we remember where we came from.

Listen to a conversation with Walter Mosley.
