"This book gathers together in one volume, for the first time, all of the parts of a planned novel, including three major sequences never before published. Set in the frame of a deathbed vigil, the story is a multigenerational saga centered on the assassination of the controversial, Senator Adam Sunraider, who's being tended to by "Daddy" Hickman, the elderly black jazz-musician-turned-preacher who raised the orphan Sunraider as a light-skinned black in rural Georgia. Presented in their unexpurgated, provisional state, the narrative sequences form a deeply poetic, moving, and profoundly entertaining book, brimming with humor and tension, composed in Ellison's magical jazz-inspired prose style and marked by his incomparable ear for vernacular speech."--Amazon.com
