In 1956, a black boy named Emmett Till was murdered for wolf-whistling at a white woman. The two white men responsible were tried-- and acquitted-- in a Mississippi town near Lewis Nordan's boyhood home. These events changed him forever. In this extraordinary novel, Nordan transforms one of America's most notorious racial killings into a magical mystery ride of hilarity and horror that you will never forget.
"An immense and wall-shattering display of talent. Wolf Whistle will help usher Lewis Nordan into the Hall of Fame of American Letters." --Randall Kenan, The Nation
