Sleepy Willie Sings the Blues description:
|
|
|
The second book in the Sleepy Willie series, Sleepy Willie Sings the Blues is reminisecent of Langton Hughes' collection of "Jesse B. Simple" books. Sleepy Willie is an old Southern-born grass-roots street philosopher living in the South Bronx in New York City. Willie takes a pundit's eye view of the interactions of African-Americans and whites in today's society. Willie rips into the leaders of the current political and gangster culture. Willie expounds on his international views. And only Sleepy Willie can find socially redeeming gualities in the Jerry Springer show.
Willie's narratives are replete with whimsical flair and eccentric spins that go so far out there that you are amazed when they conclude within the realm of reason. This is a funny, insightful and thought-provoking book that will take you through the hoops with laughs, sighs and a melancholy longing - then set you straight.
