Paris, 1940. A brilliant jazz musician is arrested by the Nazis and never heard from again. He is a German citizen. And he is black. From the smoky bars of pre-war Berlin to the streets of Paris, Edugyan leads the reader through a fascinating world alive with passion, music and the spirit of resistance. Half-Blood Blues is an entrancing, electric story about jazz, race, love and loyalty, and the sacrifices we ask of ourselves, and demand of others, in the name of art.

AUTOGRAPHING AT MUNRO'S
Saturday, November 5th, 3 to 4:30 p.m.
Phyllis Serota
signed copies of her new book:
Painting My Life
Serota's memoir illuminates the moments in her life that she has so often captured in her artwork: the Chicago neighbourhood of her childhood, the violence that coloured her family life, and the shadow of the Holocaust in which she grew up.
Stunning full-colour reproductions of her paintings, created over decades of work as a professional artist, illustrate the text. Luminous and heartbreaking, joyous and disturbing, dreamlike or brutally realistic, each painting reflects in some way the artist's ongoing quest to explore both.
