lezreadalot's review against another edition
4.0
To catch the old man’s riddims needed utter surrender to hips and feet and shoulders such that time and the world became sublime irrelevancies, and the only thing real was the rapturous pulse of the body thoughtless, just feeling, pure motion.
God, I can't say how very badly I want Kai Ashante Wilson to write another full length novel about this world. It's rich and ripe with opportunity, and this short story gives us yet another glimpse of it, with Wilson's characteristically, maddeningly lovely prose. This reminded me a lot of Super Bass, (especially how it opens) but with a decidedly melancholy tint. Adored getting to see more of Sea-john and its marriages, and more of gods and godhood.
A real treat.
