Publisher's Synopsis
WARNING: This is fiction. It deals with discrimination, racism, segregation, sex and violence. And God and the Devil. It is meant for adults only. It also contains the "N" word. Many times. And Much Profanity. You Have Been Warned. DESCRIPTION: Follow the life of Boogie, who the Devil has taken an extreme interest in, and who will stop at nothing to get Boogie's soul. He pulls out all the stops... from Beginning to End, by assigning one of his top men, Bill the Blackbird, to stay on Boogie's case his entire life. Does he succeed in getting Boogie's Soul? Maybe. From a Five Star Review by Henrietta Lala: "I've been reading about 70 years and Blackbird is one of those rare nuggets of pure gold in a whole mountain of clay . It plays out like the blues, full of riffs and bass and gravel that spin themselves into a mirror of soul not ashamed to get down and dirty and come up dragging us into a light we refused to open our eyes to before. Don't let the stomp and shuffle and guffaws fool you into thinking it's not about you, you ain't gonna get off that easy. I was in Gadsden Alabama for about three months in 1958, and he's not telling any lies. It was my first experience with deep southern segregationist views. A great morality tale told by a masterful and powerful writer about a very unique character."
