Summary
The award-winning critic and memoirist Margo Jefferson has lived in the thrall of a cast of others, her parents and maternal grandmother, jazz luminaries, writers, artists, athletes and stars. These are the figures who thrill and trouble her, and who have made up her sense of self as a person and as a writer. In her much-anticipated follow-up to Negroland, Jefferson brings these figures to life in a memoir of stunning originality, a performance of the elements that comprise and occupy the mind of one of our foremost critics
