Grant felt that he had no say in the development of his own career, and he was seeing signs that the studio was losing interest in him…other than to just be a handsome face. He yearned for better roles to prove himself as an actor. And so, he did the inconceivable.

Moreover, this book is the first to argue that the blues began as a cosmopolitan art form, not a rural one.
