About this ebook:
The twentieth century, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., wrote in a 1996 profile, “is Albert Murray’s century; we just live in it.” Few writers have penetrated as deeply into the complexities of race and culture in America as did Murray in such indispensable books as The Omni-Americans and Stomping the Blues. But his literary élan, wit, and sense of exhilarating play found its fullest expression in his novels, a semi-autobiographical tetralogy published to great acclaim over some thirty years and here collected for the first time in a single volume.Deeply engaged with the modernist legacy of writers such as Faulkner and Joyce, and with the work of his great friend Ralph Ellison, Murray’s four novels form a wise and rollicking “memory book,” mining his own history to fashion an indelible portrait of life in the Deep South in the 1920s and ’30s and in prewar New York City. His narrator and protagonist, Scooter, is introduced in Train Whistle Guitar (1974), a novel about a boy’s upbringing in a blue-collar African American community in which he learns as much from musicians and wise elders as he does in school. Murray extends his tale of Scooter’s youth—an education in books, music, and the bent-note-blues realities of American life—in The Spyglass Tree (1991), his portrait of the artist as a Tuskegee undergraduate. The Seven League Boots (1996) goes on to tell the story of Scooter’s tenure as a bass player in a touring band not unlike Duke Ellington’s. In the final novel The Magic Keys (2005), Murray’s hero at last finds his true vocation as a writer in Greenwich Village, in a tale that, in the words of John Leonard, is at once “elegy, reverie, . . . and musical score.”The volume is rounded out with a selection of Murray’s remarkable poems—potent verbal firecrackers in the form of blues lyrics, gospel hymns, barbershop aphorisms, and high-modernist word portraits, including eleven published here for the first time. An appendix features two stories bookending Murray’s career as a fiction writer: “The Luzanna Cholly Kick” (1953), the first published iteration of what would become Train Whistle Guitar, and the previously unpublished story “Manifest Destiny U.S.A.” (2004–5), a tantalizing glimpse at an offshoot to the Scooter novels.

An acceptable diversion. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Perfectly average.

Honestly one of the most premium reading experiences lately. The prose is exquisite. It’s accessible yet undeniably sophisticated. An absolute must-read for connoisseurs of the genre.

Masterpiece from start to finish. I became deeply invested in the protagonist's journey. A masterclass in storytelling. Worth every moment spent reading.

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. Quite impressive overall.
