Sobre este artículo
In original shrink-wrap. Taking a cue from Dante's Purgatorio, Jazz is considered by many to be Morrison's most difficult novel and, according to the author, embodies 'the modernity that jazz anticipated and directed, and . . . its unreasonable optimism.' Its iconic first line—'Sth, I know that woman.'—came almost unconsciously from a long-fought battle to find the voice of the book's narrator, as Morrison registered her own frustration in what Morgan Parker calls 'a self-disgusted tooth-suck and petty pencil toss.' Morrison herself recreates that tooth-suck on the audiocassette, which features packaging adapted from R. D. Scudellari's first edition design by Robert Anthony.
Sinopsis
In the winter of 1926, when everybody everywhere sees nothing but good things ahead, Joe Trace, middle-aged door-to-door salesman of Cleopatra beauty products, shoots his teenage lover to death. At the funeral, Joe's wife, Violet, attacks the girl's corpse. This passionate, profound story of love and obsession brings us back and forth in time, as a narrative is assembled from the emotions, hopes, fears, and deep realities of black urban life.From the Trade Paperback edition.
