Overview
Una potente novela sobre un crimen pasional y sus consecuencias ambientada en el Harlem de la década de 1920, con la firma inconfundible de Toni Morrison
Cuando Violet y Joe Trace, un matrimonio entrado en años, llegan a Nueva York huyendo de la intolerancia de su Virginia natal, creen que podrán vivir en libertad sin importar el color de su piel. Pero el Harlem de los años '20, foco de un vibrante renacimiento cultural, les depara apuros inesperados. Joe acabará cometiendo un horrendo crimen pasional, mientras que Violet se verá obligada a convivir con sus celos y las repercusiones del acto de su marido. Retrato de una comunidad en plena ebullición, Jazz es una potente novela sobre conflictos raciales, ilusiones perdidas y las injusticias padecidas por las mujeres en el siglo XX.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Transforms a familiar refrain of jilted love into a bold, sustaining time of self-knowledge and discovery. Its rhythms are infectious." --People
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.
"The author conjures up worlds with complete authority and makes no secret of her angst at the injustices dealt to black women." --The New York Times Book Review
