39 Blows on a Gone Trumpet - by Johnny Dolphin (Paperback)

About the Book

Johnny Dolphin is the latest author to emerge from the Tangiers school of writing affiliated with the name of William Burroughs. 39 Blows is his first novel, one of a trilogy exploring the experiential space of the planet.

Book Synopsis

The first novel of the Trilogy, one of passion, youth and energy. It focuses on exploring the power of the world, what it means to act and influence the course of history, to be where change is created and to endlessly navigate the intricacies of being human - lover, thinker, poet. 39 Blows on a Gone Trumpet swings with its own rhythm, its prose near to poetry and music, with 39 riffs sounding the unique historical beats of Manhattan, Iran and Morocco as they were in the early '60s.
