1958
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
People ought not only to read these sorts of books more often, but to write them. Birdsong is the sort of character-driven novel you'd expect from Walker Percy, in which characters, during the course of a day or a week, discover their freedom, realize the influence of others in their lives, the motivation behind that influence, and whether or not it has a right to be there. Dewey confronts each aspect of his past, vaguely aware that he is in a rare introspective moment that will allow him to separate his past from his present, and ultimately, choose his future.
Novel Setting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The novel is set in 1958 before the drug, etc. scene. So the characters are valid to the period. A wonderful novel.
