Wolf Whistle

The case of Emmett Till is open again.

This is the sort of thing that doesn't exactly make me proud to be from Mississippi.

Writer Lewis Nordan, one of the more impressive Southern writers alive, wrote a novel based on the Till story. I don't often recommend recent fiction, but I read this one a few years ago, and it's worth a look.

Thanks to alert reader Kristy for the tip.
