Sistema nervoso in costruzione
Margo Jefferson è sempre stata affascinata da molti personaggi, vicini e lontani - i suoi genitori, la nonna materna, e poi luminari del jazz, scrittori, artisti, atleti, celebrità. Sono queste figure a emozionarla e tormentarla: le persone che hanno contribuito a formarla come individuo e come autrice. Nell'atteso seguito di "Negroland", Jefferson dona loro una nuova vita, in modo originale e struggente. Le ricrea sulla pagina, fondendo critica e ricordi personali, riunendo tutti coloro che hanno popolato il suo passato e le hanno fatto compagnia nella solitudine. Bing Crosby e Ike Turner diventano suoi alter ego. La musica di un disco jazz si leva emulando la voce intima di un genitore. W.E.B. Du Bois si incontra di nascosto con George Eliot, i muscoli di una ballerina classica si uniscono a quelli di un'atleta olimpica, svelandoci le potenzialità del corpo nero. Tra cesure e dissonanze, dolore ed estasi, Jefferson interroga sé stessa e sfida il concetto di autobiografia, regalandoci un memoir profondo e di incredibile bellezza.

Unexplained Presence
“For this brilliant debut, Bryant narrates the movements of peripheral African-American characters in film and other media—characters who seem to be there innocuously, as in Stephen Frears's Sammy & Rosie Get Laid or François Ozon's 8 Femmes —but end up loaded with multiple, conflicting meanings.”—Publishers Weekly “Bryant’s essay title also captures the way ‘radical writing’ (not ‘just’ writing) seems to have become, for some poets, a synonym primarily for poetry, eliding a great deal of radical drama, nonfiction, and fiction, to say nothing of cross-genre prose.” —Jacket2 “What is most remarkable is how Bryant transforms these elisions into acts of imagination, restoring or reconfiguring partially glimpsed subjects via fleet and surprising sentences that traverse the distance between representation and meaning.” —San Francisco Bay Guardian

Negroland
Een autobiografieAls dochter van een kinderarts en een modieuze moeder groeide Margo Jefferson op te midden van de hoogopgeleide en welvarende zwarte elite in Chicago in tijden van segregatie – in wat zij ‘Negroland’ noemt. Tegen de achtergrond van beslissende historische gebeurtenissen als de burgerrechtenbeweging, de opkomst van het feminisme en de schijn van een postraciale tijd, brengt Jefferson haar leven in kaart, dat werd getekend door psychologische en morele tegenstellingen in een zwarte middenklasse met ogenschijnlijke privileges.

Het bouwen van een zenuwstelsel
Een memoirWat kan een Zwart vrouwelijk lichaam allemaal zijn? In Het bouwen van een zenuwstelsel versplintert Jefferson zichzelf eerst en bouwt zichzelf vervolgens weer op door haar gelauwerde kritieken te vervlechten met de woorden van overleden familieleden, sleutelmomenten uit haar leven, en met gedramatiseerde berichten van mensen die haar in haar eenzaamheid vergezelden. Jazzklanken vormen de intieme en leerzame stem van een ouder. Bing Crosby en Ike Turner zijn twee van haar alter ego’s. Zo ontstaat een remix van haarzelf in een nieuwe, met leven overgoten, muzikale vorm. Met diepgang en ontroerende schoonheid herontdekt Jefferson identiteit en de vorm van de memoir.
