Bill Banfield's New Book "Cedric's Truth" is about Cedric, a "Musician Super Hero" Who Fights for the Arts and Eschews Industry and Creative Restrictions
Recent release "Cedric's Truth" from Page Publishing author Bill Banfield is about a man named Cedric who represents, like Ellison's Invisible Man, a counter-cultural critic.
JAMAICA PLAIN, Mass., Oct. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bill Banfield, composer, musician author, currently serving as Professor of Africana Studies/ Music and Society, director of the Center for Africana Studies/ Liberal Arts, Berklee College of Music, has completed his new book "Cedric's Truth": an emotional tale about Cedric's dilemma, which is living with the challenge of people and his deteriorating mind and disillusioned soul.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Bill Banfields's emotional work details how Cedric often "leaves the room" and travels away again before his cousin and Mrs. Turner can find him. In the opening of the book, and all throughout he's telling this story to his lady friend in a restaurant. The whole novel is Cedric retelling his life to her.
In the last chapter "Closing up Shop", Mrs. Anderson, Cedric's childhood hero, simply said she had so hoped he'd find his way to his truths. The real story is through his interactions with a host of various characters; in the club, the record company, the barber shop, the church he worked in, the school he taught in Indianapolis, the museum, the public radio station, his loves, Michelle and Myranda ....
He gave his best shots, accomplished a lot actually, but found others (the school, the record company, the radio station) not coming through for him, and then he slowly begins to drift into losing his sanity, finding more safety in the waring flowering voices in his own head, his "characters".
Readers who wish to experience this heart-wrenching work can purchase "Cedric's Truth" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
