No Matter How Much You Promise to Cook or Pay the Rent You Blew It Cauze Bill Bailey Ain't Never Coming Home Again
''No Matter How Much You Promise to Cook or Pay the Rent You Blew It Cauze Bill Bailey Ain't Never Coming Home Again'' is a 2003 novel by Edgardo Vega Yunqué. The author has called it a "jazz novel."
''Bill Bailey''〔〔This short form of the title appears in several reviews and is used by the author himself.〕 is set in New York City in the 1980s, and tells the saga of Billy Farrell and his daughter Vidamía. Billy is a lackluster Irish-American who gave up music after losing two fingers, and some of his sanity, in Vietnam. Billy and Vidamía first meet when she is 12 years old. Her mother is a social-climbing, assimilation-minded Puerto Rican who has married a wealthy CPA and is raising Vidamía in the suburbs. But Vidamía finds herself strongly attracted to her father, her father's family, and the Lower East Side.
The novel's title is a play on the title and lyrics of the jazz classic, "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?". The song and the relevant lyrics are explicitly mentioned in the novel.〔pp. 13,144,602〕
==Plot summary==
The novel is divided into four parts, called "movements".〔"A Symphonic Novel" appears on the cover, but it is not a subtitle. The phrase does not appear on the book's title page, copyright page, or in later lists by the author of his works.〕
