The name of the book is Jazz and yet I was wholly unprepared for the lyricism of Morrison's writing. As usual, her characters are flawed, complex individuals, but there's an ambiguity and circularity to this novel that isn't present in Sula or Song of Solomon.

This is the first book of Hanif's that I've read and it lived up to expectations. Poetic, nostalgic, present, weaving resonant stories from history, pop culture, and adolescence.
