Discover Michael Ondaatje's debut novel, 'a beautifully detailed
story, perhaps the finest jazz novel ever written' Sunday Times
Based on the life of cornet player Buddy Bolden, one of the
legendary jazz pioneers of turn-of-the-twentieth-century New
Orleans, Coming Through Slaughter is an extraordinary recreation of
a remarkable musical life and a tragic conclusion. Through a
collage of memoirs, interviews, imaginary conversations and
monologues, Ondaatje builds a picture of a man who would work by
day at a barber shop and by night unleash his talent to wild
audiences who had never experienced such playing. But Buddy was
also playing the field with two women, and inside his head was a
ticking time-bomb which he was unable to stop.
