Booker Prize-winning author's first full-length
work of prose/novel.Ondaatje's first novel and winner of Books in Canada First Novel Award. Ondaatje's fictional consideration of cornetist Buddy Bolden,an elusive but seminal figure in the creation of New Orleans 'rag-time'. Based on the life of cornet player Buddy Bolden,one of the legendary jazz pioneers of turn-of-the-twentieth-century New Orleans, 'Coming Through Slaughter' is an extraordinary recreation of a remarkable musical life and a tragic conclusion. Through a collage of memoirs, interviews, imaginary conversations and monologues,Ondaatje builds a picture of a man who would work by day at a barber shop and by night unleash his talent to wild audiences who had never experienced such playing.But Buddy was also playing the field with two women,and inside his head was a ticking time-bomb which he was unable to stop. Charles Joseph "Buddy" Bolden,b. September 6,1877 – d. November 4,1931) was an American cornetist who was regarded by contemporaries as a key figure in the development of a New Orleans style of ragtime music, or "jass",which later came to be known as jazz.His band starting playing around 1895, in New Orleans parades and dances, and eventually rose to become one of the most popular bands in the city.From around 1898 until 1906,he reigned as the undisputed King of black New Orleans music.In 1907 his health deteriorated and he was committed to a mental institution where he spent the remainder of his life.
