description: Steve Cannon's first novel Groove, Bang, and Jive Around is an underground classic of such legendary stature that New York's black cognoscenti have transmogrified the work into urban myth. Whenever the book comes up in conversation, eyes light with a glassy leer. "You can't keep that book in your house, man! It's like a ghost! It just disappears!"Strange tales woven around a strange tale. The reasons for its reputation are simple: First, until recently, you couldn't find it. Not in used bookstores. Not in in book piles on the street. In fact, its author didn't own a copy for well over twenty years.Second, it's really filthy.And third, like a Loa in Haitian Voudon, it leaves the shelves of its host to possess another
