Description

Wolf Whistle: A Novel by Lewis Nordan In this powerful and thought-provoking novel, Lewis Nordan tackles one of the most infamous racial killings of the 20th century, the Emmett Till murder. With his characteristic imagination and skill, Nordan takes readers on a journey through the complex and often fraught Southern psyche of the mid-1950s. As the story unfolds, Nordan masterfully explores themes of guilt, recognition, and redemption in a generation of white Southerners struggling to come to terms with their past. The result is an immense and wall-shattering display of talent that will leave readers deeply moved and impressed. Randall Kenan's praise for Wolf Whistle is well-deserved, and this novel is sure to be remembered as a significant work in American literature.
