Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
"Reese has made an essential contribution to the scholarship on jazz writing. After thoroughly interrogating what it means to be lonely, he then shows how literature about jazz--canonical as well as obscure, autobiography as well as fiction--yields its secrets when read alongside concepts of loneliness."--Krin Gabbard, author of Better Git It in Your Soul.n Your Soul.
