Baton Rogue. 1983. Louisiana State University Press. 1st Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0807111201. 243 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Albert Crochet. keywords: Literature America Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Three mornings a week, Roscoe Americus, Jr. -determined, persistent, but twenty pounds overweight and short of breath-runs the three-mile path around Union City's park. As he runs, the sweet memories of his triumphs as a college football standout barely keep pace with the troubles and disappointments of the present; his glorious hopes for a future comeback finish in a dead heat with the awareness that he is past his prime. MR. AMERICA'S LAST SEASON BLUES is the story of Roscoe's attempt to make a comeback, his last run at becoming a superstar. He had once been a hero to the black community of Union City in his years as an offensive and defensive tackle for Ohio State, but his career ended in disappointment when a knee injury kept him on the sidelines during his rookie season with the Cleveland Browns. Released by the pros, Roscoe drifted into the Canadian Football League, then into the lucrative carnival of professional wrestling. When he tired of a life of sideshow athletics, Roscoe returned to Union City-an ex-hero whose achievements had already begun to fade into the distance. So, Roscoe trains for a comeback, for superstardom, not just on the gridiron, but also as a family man and member of the community. His marriage heading for divorce, Roscoe hopes to reach an understanding with his wife, to keep the love of his daughters, and to gain the trust of his new lover's troubled son. With his parents dead and his family dispersed around the globe, he hopes to gather all his brothers and sisters together for a reunion. Haunted by his murdered father's ghost, Roscoe tries to live up to the standards of success and courage laid out for him. With the black community Union City in decline, he works to give it a sense of unity and commitment, to retrieve its lost hope and dreams. inventory #25696.
