Description
Buddy Bolden's life was a complex tapestry of talent and turmoil. In "Coming Through Slaughter", Michael Ondaatje masterfully weaves together fragments of memoir, interview, conversation, and monologue to recreate the extraordinary story of one of New Orleans' most legendary jazz pioneers.
Through Buddy's eyes, we see a man who finds solace in music, yet is haunted by his own demons. As he navigates the vibrant nightlife of turn-of-the-twentieth-century New Orleans, he must also confront the consequences of his actions and the secrets that threaten to destroy him.
This beautifully detailed novel is a powerful exploration of the human spirit, set against the rich musical heritage of one of America's most fascinating cities.
