Welcome to America at the turn of the twentieth century, where the rhythms of ragtime set the beat. Harry Houdini astonishes audiences with magical feats of escape, the mighty J. P. Morgan dominates the financial world and Henry Ford manufactures cars by making men into machines. Emma Goldman preaches free love and feminism, while ex-chorus girl Evelyn Nesbitt inspires a mad millionaire to murder the architect Stanford White. In this stunningly original chronicle of an age, such real-life characters intermingle with three remarkable families, one black, one Jewish and one prosperous WASP, to create a dazzling literary mosaic that brings to life an era of dire poverty, fabulous wealth, and incredible change in short, the era of ragtime.

评分知道这部小说是因为我很喜欢根据这部小说改编的同名音乐剧，那种充满节奏感和让人悸动的旋律吸引了我，印象最深刻的是萨拉那首撕心裂肺的《YOUR DADDY'S SON》，本以为小说跟音乐剧一样主要情节是关于科沃豪斯的悲剧，真的看了小说才知道这不是关于一个人的小说，而是一副...
