Description:ONE OF THE GREAT JAZZ NOVELS OF ANY ERA, 'A DROP OF PATIENCE' TELLS THE STORY OF A BLIND HORN PLAYER'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE THEMES OF RACE, BLINDNESS, AND MUSIC.In 'A DROP OF PATIENCE', William Melvin Kelley tells the searing story of Ludlow Washington, a black jazz musician, with the emotional intensity of the blues. Blind since childhood and put into a state home, Ludlow first learns the piano and later takes up the horn. When at fifteen he is released to the custody of a bandleader, his unmistakable talent takes him on an odyssey from Boone's Cafe, a small dive in New Marsails, to New York where he becomes a leading, visionary jazz musician. This is the coming of age story of a man set apart - by blindness, by race, by artistry - who must learn through adversity not only who he is and whom to trust, but also from where he derives his self worth. Considered by Stanley Crouch to be one of the finest novels ever written about jazz - an exploration of the African-American experience that evokes comparisons to Ralph Ellison's 'Invisible Man'.''A DROP OF PATIENCE' is a brilliant portrayal of a jazz musician. It stands apart as an exemplary parable of African American history, of racial politics, and of musical creative genius. An exquisitely forceful parable of moral and spiritual blindness and a staggering work of art.RUNNING TIME ➡ 6hrs. and 4mins.©2020 William Melvin Kelley (P)2020 Random House AudioWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
