In Jazz in the Time of the Novel, Bruce Barnhart explores how jazz and fiction co-evolved in early 20th-century America to shape cultural understandings of time, race, and identity. Through a nuanced analysis of literary and musical forms, Barnhart reveals how jazz's improvisational structure and temporal fluidity influenced narrative techniques and social critique, particularly during the Harlem Renaissance. This interdisciplinary study offers a compelling framework for examining the aesthetic and political intersections of sound and story.
