About Jazz by Toni Morrison

Set in 1926, at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, Toni Morrison’s Jazz follows Joe and Violet, who have left the South to escape the hardships of segregation. In the city, music offers artistic freedom while also carrying the possibility of moral decline.

Passion, jealousy, murder, and redemption meet questions of sex and spirituality, slavery and liberation, and the tensions between country and city. Readers interested in Morrison’s fiction, the Harlem Renaissance, and novels that explore human experience through music and history will find much to consider.
