About this Item
Signed by author on title page without inscription. First Edition with full number line. In protective acid-free archival quality acetate cover. RL's Dream is a novel about the blues, the blues as an expression of black poetry and black tragedy and how they sit in judgment on the American experience. In contemporary New York, aging bluesman Soupspoon Wise is alone, ill, and dying. He has played his music in a thousand bars, clubs, and juke joints, but never so memorably as the time he played with one Robert RL Johnson in the Mississippi delta. Seller Inventory # 8-2-128
