RL's Dream by Walter Mosley

Aging bluesman Soupspoon Wise is alone and dying. He's played his music in a thousand bars and juke joints, but nothing, nothing could ever beat playing with Robert ?RL? Johnson back in the Mississippi Delta. Soupspoon is haunted by that brief encounter with the great musician, the genius who sold his soul to the Devil. Mosley's thrillers have been hailed as novels of depth and complexity that throw open the moral, physical and social landscape of personal and collective pain and redemption that confirms his status as one of America's finest writers.
?No other US writer captures the memories of skin and the history of bodies in pain better than Mosley? i-D ?What makes Mosley so important in American literature is not just his ability to pen novels that grab you by the throat, but the way his heroes reflect the uncertainty, the fears, and the moral dilemmas of America? Daily Express ?The writing makes you want to cry or shout AmenThere are moments when it casts you down so hard you can feel the dirt in your mouth. What is miraculous about Mosley is the way he lets the story tell itself? New Statesman
