	James McBride: A Jazzy Author
		Always fascinated by his colour, James McBride would persistently ask his mother whether she was white, to which she'd say, "I'm light-skinned".
		It was his mother's own life, an inspiring true tale about a woman who battled poverty and her own troubled youth and went on to raise 12 children — who all went on to study at university.
		As you'd expect, McBride claims there is a connection between jazz and fiction: "There is an improvisatory quality to writing fiction, where you create a character and he just starts to take off and goes in directions where you don't expect him to go, and the jazz is like that as well.

		James McBride gives us a wonderful memoir of himself and his mother, a Polish immigrant and Orthodox Jew, a daughter of a tyrannical rabbi father and timid, crippled mother, who dared to ask for something more of this life.
		Basically, the book is McBride's tribute to his white, Jewish (turned Christian) mother, a woman who manages to pull herself away at a young from her abusive father and start a life of her own.
		McBride talks about his family as though it were the only one like this, which leads me to believe that he was extremely sheltered, and remained that way even after growing up.
