It was an experience that burned indelibly into Soupspoon's soul--never mind that they said RL's gift came from the Devil himself. Now it's Soupspoon's turn to strike a deal with a stranger. An alcoholic angel of mercy, Kiki Waters isn't much better off than Soupspoon, but she too is a child of the South, and knows its pull. And she is determined to let Soupspoon ride out the final notes of his haunting blues dream, to pour out the remarkable tale of what he's seen, where he's been--and where he's going. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMosley creates a \"a meditation on the history and meaning of the blues\" (\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) in \u003ci\u003eR L's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, which practically sings a soulful blues song itself.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 8.2 x 5.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 1996\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Caucus of the American Library Association Literary_award (1996)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47228463448313,"sku":"9780671884284","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ZUV1NkdVTnBlZEdDam95NEw0anJKdz09_7f1b4dc5-b268-499c-9134-64b51bad1d25.webp?v=1768290816","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/r-l-s-dream-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
