In 1949, Sonny-Rett Payne, a jazz pianist, fled New York for Paris to escape both his familys disapproval of his music and the racism that shadowed his career. Now, decades later, his eight-year-old grandson is brought to Paynes old Brooklyn neighborhood to attend a memorial concert in his honor. The childs visit reveals the persistent family and community rivalries that drove his grandfather into exile. The Fisher King -- a moving story of jazz, love, family conflict, and the artists struggles in society -- offers hope in the healing and redemptive power of one memorable boy.About the Author:Paule Marshall holds a distinguished chair in the Graduate Creative Writing Program at New York University.
