In 1949, Sonny-Rett Payne, a jazz pianist, fled New York for Paris to escape both his family's disapproval of his music and the racism that shadowed his career. Now, decades later, his eight-year-old grandson is brought to Payne's old Brooklyn neighborhood to attend a memorial concert in his honor. The child's visit reveals the persistent family and community rivalries that drove his grandfather into exile.
The Fisher King?a moving story of jazz, love, family conflict, and the artists' struggles in society?offers hope in the healing and redemptive power of one memorable boy.

Recenzii
Valerie Boyd "Atlanta Journal-Constitution" Lean and beautifully written, this novel -- like the jazz at its core -- swings and soars and deeply satisfies.
Descriere
In 1949, Sonny-Rett Payne, a black jazz pianist, fled New York for Paris to escape his family's disapproval of his art and the racism that shadowed his career. His success in Europe and his subsequent death there form the dramatic background of a moving and revelatory story of jazz, love, family conflict, and the artist's struggles in society.
