Review

Fredric Koeppel

"Memphis Commercial Appeal"

You won't be prepared for the brilliance and adventuresome nature of "RL's Dream"....filled with reckless humor, sorrow and abandon that are as exhilarating as they are provocative.

Tom De Haven

"Entertainment Weekly"

Heart-stopping....a beautiful little masterpiece....a meditation on the history and meaning of the blues and, in its sorrowful lyric, virtually a blues song itself....Every part of this novel -- every page -- comes alive.
