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.
