This vibrant narrative dissects the complexity of white-on-black as well as black-on-black racism.

Rosa Guy's powerful first novel follows Wade Williams, a brilliant young black man who wakes up in a mental hospital and is told he has assaulted his sister. Throughout Guy's engrossing story, Wade retraces his steps to identify the circumstances that brought him to commit this unthinkable act, and reveals the rich complexity of mid-twentieth century Harlem and its mothers, sons, and daughters, whose aspirations prevail and perish within both white and black America. A compelling personal story and a razor-sharp cultural critique, Bird at My Window is the third title in Coffee House Press's acclaimed Black Arts Movement Series.
