New York. 1987. September 1987. Available Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0345348338. 147 pages. hardcover. keywords: African American Literature Women America. DESCRIPTION - BE-BOP, RE-BOP is told in language that swings off the page. It's the story of the 30s - Krazy Kat cartoons, the Louis-Schmelling fight, the young Nat King Cole. The story of the 40s - the Flying Black Aces, Billie Holliday, and the least-known titans of jazz. It's the story of the 5Os, with its bawling baby named desegregation, and the story of now, with its brie, chablis, and self-centered me. Riding a riff of sheer joy, BE-BOP conjures up the time and life of an on-the-spot sage known as Double, along with the dues and the cues of the headbump reality he chooses to use to his gain. Up front of that backdrop we meet Double's daughter and grow to know her, not just as Double's young chip - Atta baby!' Double'd say to rusty-kneed me, jiving to the beat right beside him - but as an upgrown observer in Double's own image. Then there's level-edged Vole, Double's wife, and too there's PQ. Muh-Dear, and the rest of the regulars. Ool ya koo, ah ruby do flew. BE-BOP's the pulse of American Blacklife, the real-deal depiction of folks and their values as partners in time. Not a book but a beat, it's the tune of our roots on their trail to today. inventory #8679.
