thinking about the discrepancy between the facts of bolden's biography and the vividness of the prose. lots of v cool stuff happening here

i think buddy coming back is really interesting
i also think bellocq is a really dynamic character
this might benefit from a reread?

i feel like the pacing is dragging a bit now. the description of him mixing hymns and the blues slapped though

realised this was written by a poet and it checks out

i really like how evocative the writing style is - even though not that much is happening, the world feels so lived in and vivid
