【 摘 要 】

In 2005 and 2006 two novels were published bearing the same title, Swing: the first one (with the subtitle A Mystery) is the work of Rupert Holmes, a British-American composer, playwright and novelist, whereas the second was written by Jean-Yves Chaperon, a French writer and journalist who specializes in jazz. The American music landscape, with its intricacies and sociological echoes, provides the background of these two novels. This paper examines how, in both cases, the various promises of the title are kept, and what the music suggested does to the writing itself and to our perception of the world represented.
