Book Synopsis

Jazz can be uplifting, stimulating, sensual, and spiritual. Yet when writers turn to this form of music, they almost always imagine it in terms of loneliness. Sam Reese investigates literary representations of jazz and the cultural narratives associated with it, noting how they have shaped readers' judgments and assumptions about the music.
