In the tradition of Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, and James Baldwin, Blues Deluxe is an eloquent and powerful novel about the challenges of love and life in the twentieth century.

Harvey Griffin's powerful, poetic novel tells the story of two lovers, Gussie and Cootie, who are doomed by circumstance and history to be each other's undoing. In a time when race, sex, and class divide people like never before, Gussie and Cootie are drawn to each other like the North and South Poles are to the sun.

Blues Deluxe is a heartbreaking, yet ultimately hopeful story of one man's attempt to understand and love a woman who is not only different from him, but also a product of a different era and a different kind of world.; 8vo ; [vii], 290, [10] pages.
