"Triple Exposure: Black, Jewish and Red in the 1950s"

"Triple Exposure succeeds above all because of the absolute aliveness, immediacy and rightness of its dialogue. Jeffries's dialogue at its best approaches Ellison's and that of some of the other great black writers of our time, among them Ernest J. Gaines, James Alan MacPherson, Toni Morrison and Albert Murray, as well as the playwrights who constituted black drama at its zenith in the work of the Negro Ensemble Company."

"I was glad to receive a copy of Triple Exposure: Black, Jewish and Red in the 1950s . . . the narrative gift is so strong --- not what academic writing teaches us usually. It gets better as you go along. The last episode especially, the Tamika story, is a strong almost self-contained element. It made me think of The Blue Angel, mixed with a touch of Death in Venice."

"The knowledge and love of jazz that Jeffries's father imparted makes the sections on jazz reminiscent of a riff. The author's language is rhythmic and poetic, infectious in how it reveals his enthusiasm for Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Lester Young and Ben Webster. And his excavation of jazz led him to dig more deeply into black culture and black life."
