Her greatest achievement. The ultimate flex, the "I can do anything" novel. Masterclass in prose, storytelling, symbolism, etc. Beloved made Morrison one of the greatest writers to ever live and Jazz makes her the greatest.

An absolute masterclass - the complex storyweaving really felt like the essence of jazz put to words yet still had you caring so deeply about all the characters. Also loved the personification of the narrator. One of those books that will stay with you for a while after you close the page.
