Abstract

The Fisher King, by Caribbean-American author Paule Marshall, encompasses many tales: two feuding families, the rise and fall of a jazz musician, and the intricacies of friends turned lovers. As in her previous novels The Chosen Place, the Timeless People and Daughters, Marshall dips in and out of the lives of characters who encounter important historical events, in this case the Great Migration of African Americans to the North of the USA and the later migration of Black artists to Paris.
