In the still cool evenings of Pittsburgh's Hill district, familiar sounds fill the air. A rooster crows. Screen doors slam. The laughter of friends gathered for a backyard card game rises just above the wail of a mother who has lost her son. And there's the sound of the blues, played and sung by young men and women with little more than a guitar in their hands and a dream in their hearts.\u003cp\u003eAugust Wilson's \u003cb\u003eSeven Guitars\u003c\/b\u003e is the sixth chapter in his continuing theatrical saga that explores the hope, heartbreak, and heritage of the African-American experience in the twentieth century. The story follows a small group of friends who gather following the untimely death of Floyd \"Schoolboy\" Barton, a local blues guitarist on the edge of stardom. Together, they reminisce about his short life and discover the unspoken passions and undying spirit that live within each of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plume Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452276925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1997 pg. 199\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/1998 pg. 978\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"August Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637478027420,"sku":"9780452276925","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_94d29d3b-a7cd-4f87-8356-5c32621f0da7.jpg?v=1603844871","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/seven-guitars-9780452276925","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
