Toure's Other Book “Soul City was a place where God entered through the speakers and love was measured in decibels,” Touré wrote in the opening story “The Steviewondermobile.” Protagonist Huggy Bear Jackson, and his crew (Mojo, Boozoo and Groovy Lou) owned cool cars that only blasted Stevie songs as they rolled down the street. In that metropolis music was more than entertainment, it was also spiritual and religious. In the “shout outs” section of the book Touré lays out his influences and inspirations, which included Zadie Smith, Prince and Jean-Michel Basquiat; he also gave props to the brilliance of comedian Richard Pryor. https://crimereads.com/mo...dventures/

I love how Touré turns music into its own kind of magic in Soul City—it really makes the city and its characters feel alive and unforgettable. | |
