Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In this visionary book, Murray takes an audacious new look at black music and, in the process, succeeds in changing the way one reads literature. Murray's subject is the previously unacknowledged kinship between fiction and the blues. Both, he argues, are virtuoso performances that impart information, wisdom, and moral guidance to their audiences; both place a high value on improvisation; and both fiction and the blues create a delicate balance between the holy and the obscene, essential human values and cosmic absurdity. Encompassing artists from Ernest Hemingway to Duke Ellington, and from Thomas Mann to Richard Wright, The Hero and the Blues pays homage to a new black aesthetic.

Descripción Soft cover. Condición: New. First Vintage Books Edition, July 1995, 1st printing. Pristine, unread copy in NEW condition. "The blues, Mr. Murray points out, are not raw black suffering but complex and sophisticated art. He is succinct, funny and marvelously original in defining and describing what a hero is in fiction and drama---his reading of 'Oedipus' is a knock-out, and his comparison of Mann's Joseph to American black heroes is eye-opening. Everything he says is apposite to artists of every hue and derivation."---The New Yorker. "Albert Murray tells the truth about black experience just as resolutely as those runaway, star-climbing notes of a Charlie Parker solo."---John Edgar Wideman. 3 essays, 107 pages, quite presentable.
