An enigmatic former bluesman is at the heart of three distinct novellas that make up this novel, as a first time novelist on assignment to write a magazine profile, a fifteen year old boy struggling to make sense of his parents’ deaths, and an estranged son seeking answers discover how their lives are forever altered by their interactions with an all but forgotten bluesman named Morris “Mojo” Jones. With all of the color and flavor of the Mississippi Delta, Mojo's Guitar: A Novel is a rare glimpse into a world rarely explored in literary fiction.
