Winner of the 1996 Black Caucus of the American Library Association Literary Award in Fiction

Soupspoon Wise is dying on the unforgiving streets of New York City, years and worlds away from the Mississippi delta, where he once jammed with blues legend Robert "RL" Johnson. It was an experience that burned indelibly into Soupspoon's soul - never mind that they said RL's gift came from the Devil himself. Now it's Soupspoon's turn to strike a deal with a stranger. An alcoholic angel of mercy, Kiki Waters isn't much better off than Soupspoon, but she too is a child of the South, and knows its pull. And she is determined to let Soupspoon ride out the final notes of his haunting blues dream, to pour out the remarkable tale of what he's seen, where he's been - and where he's going.

Walter Mosley is one of my favorite writers. I love his "Easy Rawlins" series, and i own most of his books in hardcover.

This book, "RL's Dream," was an unexpected pleasure, because I did not know that "RL' was the legendary bluesman, Robert Johnson. I bought the book just because I like Mister Mosley's writing.

It's a great read!

The book was sad and enlightening. A lot of love and caring for each other.

I loved the interactions between the characters, especially Soupspoon and Kiki. Even though Kiki had a lot of issues, she still had a lot of love and compassion for people. I especially felt a lot of compassion and love for Soupspoon who could see through all the angry and hurt Kiki was going through and not take advantage of her when she was at her lowest. However, I was kind of disappointed that Soupspoon had to die alone.
