RESUMO
The preface to Paul Morand’s collection Magie noire (1929) has been the subject of much discussion, including that of Louis-Ferdinand Céline, who has repeatedly referred to Morand as the first person to have “jazzed” the French language. Taking this metaphor seriously, this article sets out to systematically clarify its meanings.
