Porgy & Bess by Miles Davis by George Gershwin by Dubose Heyward

"Porgy and Bess is both artfully daring and morally engaging, a wonderful instance of 'passionate virtuosity.' Here, the detective novel's obsession with the grounded rationality of evidence floats away through voices that hang gloomily together, a whole of irresolvable parts. Porgy and Bess is both the death of the detective novel and its beautiful rebirth." -- Curtis White
