When middle-aged Joe Trace shoots his young lover Dorcas in a jealous rage, and his wife Violet disfigures the girl's corpse at her funeral, Morrison sets in motion a profound and haunting investigation into the passions that drive ordinary people to extraordinary acts of violence and tenderness.\n\nA Nobel Prize-winning masterwork, Jazz chronicles the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North, weaving their hopes, heartbreaks, and reinventions into a rich tapestry of American identity. Morrison's prose mimics the very structure of jazz itself — syncopated, layered, and alive with call-and-response — as an unnamed narrator guides the reader through a world where the past is never truly silent. The second novel in Morrison's Beloved trilogy, it stands as a singular artistic achievement that will leave readers questioning the nature of storytelling itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51022656504027,"sku":"2026100012366-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/311d8024-1bcd-4b2a-abb9-7786db687f96.png?v=1793665426","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012366-secondhand-jazz","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
