â€˜Jazz blazes with an intensity more usually found in tragic poetry of the past.... Morrison's voice transcends colour and creed and she has become one of America's outstanding post-war writersâ€™ GuardianJoe Trace â€“ in his fifties, door-to-door salesman of Cleopatra beauty products, erstwhile devoted husband â€“ shoots dead his lover of three months, the impetuous, eighteen-year-old Dorcas.At the funeral, his determined, hard-working wife, Violet, who is given to stumbling into dark mental cracks, tries with a knife to disfigure the corpse. Passionate and profound, Jazz brings us back and forth in time, in a narrative assembled from the hopes, fears and realities of black urban life.â€˜She wrote about what was difficult and what was necessary and in doing so she unearthed for a generation of people a kind of redemption, a kind of reliefâ€™ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, New York TimesBY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF BELOVEDWinner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction
