Amazon’s “Look Inside” feature for Jazz contains the first 30 pages for free. Read those. Morrison drops the entire thematic anchor in those opening pages: “Sth, I know that woman. She used to live with a flock of birds on Lenox Avenue. Know her husband, too. He fell for an eighteen-year-old girl with one of those deepdown, spooky loves that made him so sad and happy he shot her just to keep the feeling going.” If that doesn’t hook you, no PDF will.
