Synopsis:
"Alex Garland watch out..." - Cosmopolitan Spanning three continents and two centuries TWELVE BAR BLUES is an epic tale of jazz and juju, fate, family and friendship which finally unfolds in the Louisiana bayou... At its heart is Lick Holden, a young jazz musician, in 1900 New Orleans. The story of Lick's search for his step-sister echoes throughout the other stories in the book - of Sylvia, the English hooker and Jim her young companion; of the mysterious seashell head-dress; of Musa, the itinerant witchdoctor and of Tongo, the frustrated African chief. And all of this structured around the harmonic progression of the 12 bar blues ...
About the Author: Patrick Neate is a 29 year old journalist who lived in East Africa for two years before settling in Hammersmith, London. His acclaimed first novel, MUSUNGU JIM AND THE GREAT CHIEF TULOKO (2000) was published as a Penguin paperback original.
