Jazz

Toni Morrison. Plume Books, $12.95 (229pp) ISBN 978-0-452-26965-1

Morrison's authoritative novel--a BOMC main selection and a 17-week PW bestseller in cloth--tells the story of three intersecting tragic lives, and adroitly uses the motif of jazz to make palpable the feel and excitement of Harlem in the 1920s. (Apr.)
