Summary of The Last Bluesman by Ran Walker PDF

* This novel was originally published as Mojo's Guitar. “Ran Walker's The Last Bluesman plays an authentic Blues song on the page, filled with all the sorrow, heartache, and beauty that entails. This layered, haunting book is worth listening to.” ~ Mat Johnson, author of Pym and Loving Day “Ran Walker brings the blues into the 21st century and shows us how we can never forget our roots as long as we keep the love in our hearts. Thank you, Ran, for picking up the guitar of fiction and fretting together characters of such warmth, depth, and humanity.” ~ Tyehimba Jess, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Olio and Leadbelly “In The Last Bluesman, readers encounter a modern-day blues novel, complete with a forgotten musician and a historically disenfranchised past. Walker's clarity of style and smooth, mellifluous language render this effort one to be proud of. This work places him among the cadre of new black voices budding with fresh, ripe tales of a past and present yet to untold.” ~ Daniel Black, author of Perfect Peace and Twelve Gates to the City "The Last Bluesman is a Southern tale ripe with lust, regret, death. It epitomizes the blues. Read with a stiff drink in hand." ~ jewel bush, Founder of MelaNated Writers Collective (New Orleans, LA) “The Last Bluesman touches deep in the soul. The words jump off the page, and I feel like I'm right there with the characters of the story. And the Blues...it's ever so present and honest!” ~ Lamont Jack Pearley Talking Bout The Blues, NYC “The characters become so familiar, their conflicts so realistic, and their dilemmas and dreams so tangible, that as a reader you will feel as though you were in the Mississippi Delta along with them.” ~ Sabin Prentis, author of Compared to What and Better Left Unsaid A first-time novelist is assigned the task of interviewing a legendary bluesman for a magazine article. A fifteen-year-old boy struggles to make sense of his parents’ deaths by turning to blues music. An estranged son seeks answers for his father's absence. Discover how these lives are forever altered by their interactions with an all but forgotten bluesman named Morris “Mojo” Jones. With all of the color and flavor of the Mississippi Delta, The Last Bluesman is a rare glimpse into a world rarely explored in literary fiction.
