This essay focuses on the depiction of jazz in Michael Ondaatje's Coming through Slaughter . I argue that the elusiveness of Buddy Bolden's music and Ondaatje's own experimentalism enact the ethics that is central to the work of Jacques Derrida. By extension, they articulate a diasporic condition that is both universal as well as culturally specific
