Toni Morrison: ´Jazz´ (1992)
"...The story of a triangle of passion, jealously, murder and redemption, of sex and spirituality, of slavery and liberation, of country and city, of being male and female, African American, and above all of a being human. Like the music of its title, it is a dazzingly lyric play on elemental themes, as soaring and daring as a Charlie Parker solo, as heartbreakingly powerful as the blues. It is Pulitzer Price-winning novelist Toni Morrison at her best....
(Chicago Sun-Times)
" ....some of the finest lyric passages ever written in a modern novel.
Jazz, for sure; but also Mozart. "
