about Wolf Whistle
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 magicalmystery ride of hilarity and horror that you will never forget.
