Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. La légende dit qu'en 1931, le célèbre musicien noir Robert Johnson vendit son âme au Diable en échange d'une guitare enchantée et d'un talent extraordinaire pour le blues.Présumé mort depuis plus d'un demi-siècle, il réapparaît aujourd'hui sur un réserve indienne de l'Etat de Washington, à la recherche d'une vieille femme auprès de qui se sont succédé Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix et Janis Joplin. Celle-ci ne représente-t-elle pas pour lui le dernier espoir d'être libéré du pacte diabolique ? Toujours est-il qu'il finit par " oublier " sa guitare à bord du pick-up d'un jeune Indien qui l'a pris en stop.L'instrument magique pourrait encore faire des prodiges. C'est ainsi que naissent les " Coyote Springs ", un groupe de rock cent pour cent indien dont l'ascension, des réserves à Manhattan, sera fulgurante. Faut-il voir dans cette équipée tragi-comique, l'oeuvre du " Gentleman " ou Sherman Alexie lui aurait-il vendu son âme ? - Nombre de page(s) : 303 p. - Poids : 0g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature Anglo-Saxonne Terres d'Amérique.
