Jazz

Synopsis

Jazz is a 1992 historical novel by Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning American author Toni Morrison. The majority of the narrative takes place in Harlem during the 1920s; however, as the pasts of the various characters are explored, the narrative extends back to the mid-19th-century American South. The novel forms the second part of Morrison's trilogy on African-American history, beginning with Beloved (1987) and ending with Paradise (1998). Jazz was Morrison’s most recently published work when she was awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature.
