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.

Toni Morrison's Jazz was a bit dry for me. Not as fluid and free as Jazz, the title. Give up at 1/3. SY 8/14

评分可能是我的偏见，男性角色一开始solo，我就想快点读完，情节抓住就过，而叙述者一转回女性角色，大段大段对话和独白都恨不能刻进心里。
评分The traumatic aftermath of slavery. So heart-rending when the narrative slips back into history. But is it retrospection that heals? Violet's reconciliation with Joe testifies to the theraputic signification of accepting the brokeness of others (Felice's story of the stolen ring enables a negotiation between the husband and wife's views of Dorcas).
