The twentieth century, Henry Louis Crates, Jr., wrote in
a .1996 profile, fis Albert Murray s century; we just live
in it. Few writers have penetrated as deeply into the
complexities of race and culture in America as did
Murray in such indispensable books as 77je CJnnii-
Americmis and Stompijiff the Blues. But his literary élan,
wit, and sense of exhilarating play found its fullest
expression in his novels, a semi-autobiographical tetral-
ogy published to great acclaim over some thirty years
and here collected for the first time in a single volume.
Deeply engaged with the modernist legacy of writers
such as Faulkner and Joyce, and with the w ork of his
great friend Ralph lillison, Murray A four newels form a
wise and rollicking “memory book, mining his own
history to fashion an indelible portrait of life in the
Deep South in the 1920s and 30s and in prewar Xew
York City. His narrator and protagonist. Scooter, is
introduced in Train Whistle Guitar i 1974. j, a novel
about a boy s upbringing in a blue-collar African
American communin in which he learns as much from
musicians and wise elders as he does in school. Murray
extends his tale of Scooter’s youth—an education in
books, music, and the bent-note-blues realities of
American life—in The Spyglass Tree ( 1991 ), his portrait
of the artist as a Tuskegee undergraduate. The Seven
Teajjuc Boots {1996) goes on to tell the story of
Scooter’s tenure as a bass player in a touring band not
unlike Duke Rllington s. In the final new el The lajjic
Keys (2005), Mur ray’s hero at last finds his true voca-
tion as a writer in Greenwich Village, in a tale that, in
the words of John Leonard, is at once ifcolegy, reverie,
. . . and musical score.
The volume is rounded out with a selection of Murray s
remarkable poems—potent verbal firecrackers in the
form of blues lyrics, gospel hymns, barbershop apho-
risms, and high-modernist word portraits, including
eleven published here for the first time. An appendix
features two stories bookending Murray s career as a
fiction writer: ‘‘‘The I.irzana Cholly Kick (195.3), the

COLLECTED NOVELS POEMS
Henry Louis Gates, Jr Paul Devlin, editors
Albert Murray (1916—2013) was one of the most provocative and
original American thinkers of the twentieth century, writing
with equal grace and power as an essayist and a novelist. Here,
collected tor the first time in one volume, is Murray’s extra-
ordinary four-volume suite of semi-autobiographical novels:
Train Whistle Guitar (1974-), The Spyglass Tree (1991), The Seven
League Boots (1996), and The Magic Keys (2005). Evocative,
often funny, verbally deft and always engaging, these books trace
the coming of age of Scooter, the uncrowned high prince of
Gasoline Point, Alabama, as he makes his tricky way as a youth,
student, musician, and finally writer amid the America of the
1920s and the Depression years. A generous selection of Murray’s
poetry, made up of Conjugations and Reiterations (2001) and
eleven previously unpublished poems, is also included, along
with the previously unpublished story ‘‘Manifest Destiny U.S.A.”
The Library of America, a nonprofit publisher, is dedicated
to preserving America’s best and most significant writing
in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.
