📝 Book Description:
Coming Through Slaughter is a dazzling, experimental novel based loosely on the life of New Orleans jazz pioneer Buddy Bolden. Michael Ondaatje crafts a hypnotic, fragmented narrative that mirrors the chaotic brilliance of jazz itself.
Set at the dawn of the 20th century, the novel explores themes of genius, madness, and obsession as Bolden’s genius spirals into self-destruction. It’s a poetic and haunting meditation on art, memory, and identity—blurring the lines between fiction and biography.
