Jazz - Vintage Deco

''What''s the world for you if you can''t make it up the way you want it?'' Joe Trace - in his fifties, door-to-door salesman of Cleopatra beauty products, erstwhile devoted husband - shoots dead his lover of three months, the impetuous, eighteen-year-old Dorcas. At the funeral, his determined, hard-working wife, Violet, who is given to stumbling into dark mental cracks, tries with a knife to disfigure the corpse. Passionate and profound, Jazz brings us back and forth in time, in a narrative assembled from the hopes, fears and realities of black urban life. VINTAGE DECO: Nine blazing, daring novels to celebrate the 1920s - 100 years on.
