Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394588878. 207 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Lesley Schiff. Jacket design by Marjorie Anderson. keywords: African American Literature America. DESCRIPTION - Possessed of 'the poet's language, the novelist's sensibiiity, the essayist's clarity, the jazzsman s imagination, the gospel singer's depth of feeling' (New Yorker), Albert Murray is one of our preeminent, most widely respected and admired African-American men of letters - novelist, memoirist, and literary, social, and music critic. In THE SPYGLASS TREE, he gives us the eagerly anticipated sequel to his highly acclaimed work of fiction TRAIN WHISTLE GUITAR. If TRAIN WHISTLE GUITAR - the stoty of Scooter's boyhood in a small Southern town in the 1920s - is a blues version of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer, then THE SPYGLASS TREE - a bildungsroman of Scooter's growth into manhood at college in the deep South in the 1930s - is a riff on James Joyce's PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN. Amidst the excitement of the world of ideas and adventures with new friends, Scooter sallies into 'the territory of the blues,' where recollection becomes legend. Here he learns to deal with the vicissitudes of life - the complexities of family ties and camaraderie, his sexuality, pride of excellence in school, the darker realities of history and human passion - through confrontation and improvisation, and with style and courage. A novel of elegant, lyrical reminiscence and deep sophistication, THE SPYGLASS TREE is informed at once by the folk wit of Aunt Hagar and the master metaphor-spinning of Uncle Remus. inventory #26133.…
