Why read it?

1 author picked Cahokia Jazz as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It was so many things at once. A gripping noir thriller, while also being a meditation on race, history, religion and what America is, with a central character who is so self-effacing that at first you don't notice that he _is_ the central character, but whom you grow to love. Make sure you read to the end of the acknowledgements.
