6/10/2023 0 Comments Review of jazz by toni morrison![]() ![]() ![]() Jazz shifts through time and place, so the chronological order of events isn’t particularly relevant. As I came to the later chapters, though, the brilliance of the prose won me over, so that when I reached the last page, I wanted to start over and read the novel with an eye to the how the characters interconnect (and I would have, too, if I weren’t so obsessed with these BINGO squares damn competitive streak!). ![]() Have you ever gone to the movies, and as the credits roll, you can’t say that you loved the film or that you hated it, you just kind of think, “hmmm,” but for days after you find yourself pondering it, and visions of certain scenes and themes invade your thoughts, so eventually you come to realize that you’ve experienced something special? Jazz is like that.ĭuring the first few chapters, I appreciated the beauty of the language but couldn’t help comparing Jazz to Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, which was one of the most powerful books I read last year. ![]()
