Nearly 700 works by over 500 authors are presented in Jazz Fiction:
A History and Comprehensive Reader's Guide, a comprehensive
annotated bibliography of stories and novels that contain a jazz
component. Presenting a valuable overview of the history of the
genre from its beginnings to the near present, the book
compartmentalizes the titles into literature genres, such as
children, teen, and young adult stories; mystery and detective
fiction; fantasy and science fiction; women and jazz; works based
on the lives of actual jazz artists; international jazz fiction
(representing over 20 countries); and even "Jazz" Fiction Sans
Music: books that imply musical content but actually have none. A
series of sub-genres such as "Big Band and Swing," "Blues," "Pulp
and Smut," and "Novelizations" are identified, providing examples
of works that characterize these categories and offering readers
with specialized interests an easy reference. Also included are two
short-lists, one for short stories, the other for novels, giving
readers who desire to learn more about jazz fiction suggestions on
where to begin. David Rife's annotations qualify as short critical
essays, generally providing a jargon-free, often witty
presentation, making them a pleasure to read. Broad in scope,
meticulously researched, and comprehensive with titles that have
long been inaccessible, this definitive resource is essential for
libraries and valuable to scholars and fans of jazz and literature.
