The setting of this book is New York City, particularly Harlem. The time period is never directly stated, but most people believe it to be set in the writer's time period, the 1950's or 1960's. One of the best clues about time period is when money is mentioned early in the story and the man references asking for a quarter or fifty cents...that can help isolate a time period, which fits with the idea of the 50's or 60's.

What is the difference between urban blues and rural blues?
Think of rural blues as the original blues. Topics were open and basic--love, loneliness, anger and sadness. These subjects were sung about in an open setting with few people. Think of urban blues as the blues wrapped in a veneer of civilized jobs, big buildings and large populations. The love, loneliness, anger and sadness of the blues as experienced in a big (mostly) heartless city setting. No cotton fields or moonshine in urban blues. But cheating men and women with broken hearts still survive and flourish in a big city setting with its empty streets and faceless masses.
