Anita August | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

The book is the story of a precocious boy who lives in a blues bar and whorehouse called the Butt Hutt in the French Quarter of New Orleans. His quest for self-identity is compromised by the destruction force of his father, a blues god, and ghost conjurer. Anita August draws a remarkable portrait of the musicality of African American oral vernacular traditions and the myths and poetry of New Orleans.
