In Fascinating Rhythm, David Yaffe explores the relationship and interplay between jazz and literature, looking at jazz musicians and the themes literature has garnered from them by appropriating the style, tones, and innovations of jazz, and demonstrating that the poetics of jazz has both been assimilated into, and deeply affected, the development of twentieth-century American literature. Yaffe explores how Jewish novelists such as Norman Mailer, J. D. Salinger, and Philip Roth engaged issues of racial, ethnic, and American authenticity by way of jazz; how Ralph Ellison's descriptions of Louis Armstrong led to a "neoconservative" movement in contemporary jazz; how poets such as Wallace Stevens, Hart Crane, Langston Hughes, and Frank O'Hara were variously inspired by the music; and how memoirs by Billie Holiday, Charles Mingus, and Miles Davis both reinforced and redeemed the red light origins of jazz. The book confronts the current jazz discourse and shows how poets and novelists can be placed in it--often with problematic results. Fascinating Rhythm stops to listen for the music, demonstrating how jazz continues to speak for the American writer. 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJazz in literature 606 $aJazz musicians$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMusic and literature$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican American musicians in literature 606 $aJazz musicians in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJazz in literature. 615 0$aJazz musicians$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMusic and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican American musicians in literature. 615 0$aJazz musicians in literature. 676 $a810/.9357 686 $a18.06$2bcl 700 $aYaffe$b David$f1973-$01049245 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454338703321 996 $aFascinating rhythm$92478077 997 $aUNINA
