Industry Reviews "Bogle's rigorous history is a valuable one for the depth of its research and its refusal to patronize either TV or its audience." Entertainment Weekly (03/02/2001)
"The title promises a more exotic story than the book delivers. In fact, Dubus's strength lies in the details of the ordinary, and BLUESMAN succeeds only so far as the blues serve as commentary, rather than backbone, to the familiar plot: a boy's coming of age in small-town Massachusetts during the Vietnam War....[T]he book gets better as it goes on, a rare and desirable trajectory; and the drama of its conclusion is persuasive and nicely restrained." Times Literary Supplement - Benjamin Markovits (09/21/2001)
