Negative Positive
Title: Like listening to jazz
Review: I waded into The Known World not knowing what to expect. I was unfamiliar with Mr. Jones or any of his previous work, more attracted to the book by Eudora Welty's photograph on the cover than anything else.At first I was overwhelmed by the steady ping ping pinging of detail and rapid introduction of one character after another, then surprised to realize the vibrant visual power of Mr. Jones' very unique writing style. Like jazz, The Known World carries you along in strange and unexpected ways.
