520    "In The Louis Till File, John Edgar Wideman searches for 
       Louis Till, a silent victim of American injustice. 
       Wideman's personal interaction with the story began when 
       he learned of Emmett's murder in 1955; Wideman was also 
       fourteen years old. After reading decades later about 
       Louis's execution, he couldn't escape the twin tragedies 
       of father and son, and tells their stories together for 
       the first time. Author of the award-winning Brothers and 
       Keepers, Wideman brings extraordinary insight and a 
       haunting intimacy to this devastating story. An amalgam of
       research, memoir, and imagination, The Louis Till File is 
       completely original in its delivery--an engaging and 
       enlightening conversation between generations, the living 
       and the dead, fathers and sons. Wideman turns seventy-five
       this year, and he brings the force of his substantial 
       intellect and experience to this beautiful, stirring book,
       his first nonfiction in fifteen years,"--Baker & Taylor.
