Fiction
Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. The hero of
this sensational first novel is an alto-sax virtuoso trying
to evolve a personal style out of Coltrane and Rollins. He
also happens to be a walking, talking, Blake- and
Shakespeare-quoting bear whose musical, spiritual, and
romantic adventures add up to perhaps the best novel,
ursine or human, ever written about jazz.
