''Half-Blood Blues'' (styled without the hyphen in the UK edition) is a fictional work written by Canadian writer Esi Edugyan, and first published in June 2011 by Serpent’s Tail. The book's dual narrative centers around Sidney "Sid" Griffiths, a journeyman blues bassist. Griffiths' friend and bandmate, Hieronymus "Hiero" Falk, is caught on the wrong side of 1939 Nazi ideology, and is essentially lost to history. Some of his music does survive, however, and half a century later, fans of Falk discover his forgotten story.〔Wiersema, Robert, November 2011, (Half-Blood Blues ), Quill & Quire, Book review, Retrieved December 11, 2012〕 ==Background== ''Half-Blood Blues'' is Edugyan’s second novel.
