Beyond the Sound Barrier examines twentieth-century fictional
representations of popular music-particularly jazz-in the fiction
of James Weldon Johnson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Langston Hughes, and
Toni Morrison. Kristin K. Henson argues that an analysis of musical
tropes in the work of these four authors suggests that cultural
"mixing" constitutes one of the central preoccupations of modernist
literature. Valuable for any reader interested in the intersections
between American literature and the history of American popular
music, Henson situates the literary use of popular music as a
culturally amalgamated, boundary-crossing form of expression that
reflects and defines modern American identities.
