Reviews"...extraordinary and heroically detailed...I doubt there will be a biography anytime soon that is as textured, thorough and knowing as Kelley's.' The "genius of modern music" has gotten the passionate, and compassionate, advocate he deserves" - August Kleinzahler,The New York Times Book Review, "Monk's story, from roots in slavery, to the Great Migration north, to the cultural explosions of the 40s, 50s, and 60s, encapsulates a vivid tableau of twentieth-century American life and music. This biography is, at its best, a fitting tribute to one of America's most original and lasting creative geniuses." --The Sacramento Book Review, "A wealth of historical context is richly studded with details of Monk's family background and the broader world in which he lived and worked...Likely the most thorough possible illumination of the man behind the legend" -Library Journal, "Robin D.G. Kelley's exhaustive, necessary, and as of now definitive [book] offers a Baedeker of sorts?Kelley has created a lush portrait of the private, off-camera Monk, one it would have been difficult to paint without the unprecedented access he had to the Monk family." ?David Yaffe,The Nation, "This is an authoritative tome that pulls aside, without completely lifting, the shroud of mystery that has long surrounded one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of jazz." ?Russ Musto, All About Jazz.com, "...a massive and impressive undertaking...Thoroughly researched, meticulously footnoted, and beautifully crafted, "Thelonious Monk'' presents the most complete, most revealing portrait ever assembled of the man known as the high priest of bebop" - Steve Greenlee,The Boston Globe, "Thelonious Monk was a true original?This affectionate biography fills in the fascinating and heart-wrenching backstory of an artist the world has always longed to know better." ?The Christian Science Monitor, "Every step of Monk's musical journey is teased out in meticulous detail...whether he's charting the highs or lows of Monk's emotional swings, Kelley rarely strays from his central theme of an extraordinary talent pushing against the boundaries of his art" -Publishers Weekly, "?as complete a picture of this complex, original and enigmatic artist as possible? this very welcome book is certain to be a go-to reference." ?Down Beat Magazine

SynopsisAll three books in the thrilling and acclaimed Dark Reflections trilogy ( The Water Mirror, The Stone Light, and The Glass World ) are now available in one sleek volume. In this fast-paced series, feisty fourteen-year-old Merle and her friends Junipa and Serafin live in enchanted Venice, which has been under siege by Egypt for over 30 years. The Venetians' only protection is the Flowing Queen. But when the Queen's very existence is threatened, Merle soon finds herself at the center of a struggle for Venice's survival. But the final battle is one that she and her friends never could have imagined--and the cost will be high indeed. The author's imaginative use of history and mythology combine with fast-paced storytelling to create a page-turning series that is utterly compelling.
