Toni Morrison
1992
Novel
Fiction
Jazz's narrator is an unnamed speaker who often speaks in first person but also comments from a third-person point of view. Critics and readers have argued about the speaker's identity since the novel's debut.
Tenses shift from past to present as Jazz plays with the story line, dipping back into the past, retelling events from different points in time, and shattering standard chronology.
In jazz music, the voices of different instruments and the styles of different musicians intermingle as the musicians play and reinterpret the musical motifs that combine to create the music. Similarly, various perspectives, time frames, and character motivations mingle in Jazz to create the story.
