À propos de cet audio

 Many readers still claim this haunting, atmospheric novel of Michael Ondaatje's as their first love—a novel as sensual and erotic today as ever it was. At the turn of the century, the Storyville district of New Orleans had some 2000 prostitutes, 70 professional gamblers, and 30 piano players. But it had only one man who played the cornet like Buddy Bolden—he who cut hair by day at N. Joseph's Shaving Parlor, and at night played jazz, unleashing an unforgettable wildness and passion in crowded rooms. Self-destructively in love with two women, he embodied all the dire claims that music places on its acolytes. At the age of 31, Buddy Bolden went mad. From these sparse facts, Michael Ondaatje has created a story as beautiful and chilling as a New Orleans funeral procession, where even the mourners dance.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Really a remarkable piece of writing. . . . Brilliantly wrought." —Ken Adachi, Toronto Star

"A spectacular breakthrough into a new prose form." —Peter Newman, Globe and Mail

"One of the most innovative and liberating writers of our time." —Geoff Dyer, The Observer

"A beautifully detailed story, perhaps the finest jazz novel ever written." —The Sunday Times

"Coming Through Slaughter . . . is so stuffed full of the dolour and lust that both buoys and blemishes a life—it reads like a story dying to be told." —Books in Canada

It is all breathtakingly beautiful and poignant—the written words and the performance.
I don’t usually leave reviews but I was stunned to see this book only had one review, and it was 2 stars! IMHO, as a published writer myself, with a university degree in English Language and Literature, this book reaches another, higher level of literature, a level that all great writing aspires to, but rarely achieves. It’s as though poetry, prose and a coronet had a beautiful baby together who grew up to drunkenly write down all this sublime, sumptuous jazz. It’s pure bliss.

Superb. First rate literature. FIVE STARS
