Described as 'a highly personal portrait', Jackie Kay's unconventional biography of blues singer Bessie Smith had long been out of print (Absolute Press, 1997) until Faber & Faber offered to republish the book with a new introduction by the author. From Monday (Feb. 22) Jackie Kay's book will be serialised Monday to Friday at 9:45am (repeated daily at half past midnight) as the network's Book of the Week.
