Description

"Sonny's Blues" is a story written in the first-person singular narrative style. The story opens with the unnamed narrator reading about a heroin bust resulting in the arrest of a man named Sonny. The narrator goes about his day as an algebra teacher at a high school in Harlem, but begins to ponder Sonny's fate and worry about the boys in his class. After school, he meets a friend of Sonny, who laments Sonny will struggle with loneliness even after his detox and release.

After his daughter Grace dies of polio, Sonny decides to play the piano, but in an emotionless and obsessive manner. Once Isabel's parents find out that Sonny has not been attending school, he leaves their house, drops out of school, and joins the Navy.

The brothers return from the war. Their relationship sours, as the narrator intermittently fights with Sonny.
