«Jazz» is the novel by Toni Morrison, published by Ediciones B in paperback (275 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Harlem in the 1920s, it follows Joe Trace, a door-to-door salesman in his fifties who kills his young lover for fear of losing her. His wife Violet, who at the funeral tries to slash the dead woman's face, must learn to live with guilt, others' pain and a passion that will not return. The music of New York marks the lives of thousands of immigrants who came from the South.
Morrison sets the story during the winter of 1926. The novel is the second installment of the Beloved trilogy, after «Beloved» and before «Paraíso».
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and African American women writers, especially those who have read «Beloved».
