Synopsis A black teenager visiting from Chicago whistles at the wrong woman--a wealthy white woman--and is murdered. Author Lewis Nordan uses this event as a window into the world of the American South during the 1950s. "Wolf Whistle captures the look and smell and taste and feel aof a time and place where, for some good ol' boys and girls at least, the unquestioned verities of the past demand review."--Booklist Industry Reviews "A stunning and transluscent novel. Nordan's take uncannily transforms the Till murder to universal experience." Willie Morris "Lewis Nordan has come as near as any writer--maybe Mailer--to displaying the naked heart of his country's embedded racism." Reynolds Price "One of the amazing qualities of Nordan's writing is that it is impossible not to feel pain for everyone in Arrow Catcher...Wolf Whistle is an ambitious novel. The truth here is poetic rather than factual, which gives the whole book a peculiar and oddly beautiful shine....Wolf Whistle is a book that repeatedly tears back layers of brutality, grief and loss to reach the secret, vulnerable core inside of us all." Los Angeles Times Book Review - Erika Taylor (08/06/1995) "...[this is] a high-wire act--of surprising tenderness--that can only enhance Nordan's reputation."

In conclusion it is worth considering that Dosso was in Venice around 1510 together with these people from Trent and Friuli - he himself being native of Trent; alongside those from Brescia, Bergamo and Lodi such as Palma, Romanino and Calisto. His art, like the work of all those mentioned above, was born of a single immense cloud of smoke arising from the violet ashes of Giorgione, mixed with the sweet mists of the Po valley and some of the groaning breath of northern expressionism, or thinning out into the clarity of the ancient and most classic rhythms of central Italy that continued to shine towards the south". Roberto Longhi And it is precisely from the legacy of Giorgione - so effectively evoked in Longhi's famous words - through the painting of the leading figures in sixteenth century northern Italian art (Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, Lotto, Moretto, Romanino, Dossi, Correggio and the members of the Bassano family) that this volume, published for the exhibition held in the splendid rooms of the Palazzo Te in Mantua, tells of the intertwining of Nature and Manner, through the mists of the Po valley. Attention to real detail and formal virtuosity in the works of this period's interpreters show how the "Po valley manner" was in actual fact the combination of several "souls" and several "manners" each one different from the others. Indeed, the many artists we encounter on this rich journey - represented by over 130 works from numerous museums both in Italy and abroad, from parochial churches as well as from private collections - each start out from the lesson of Giorgione, interpreting it and personalising it in turn but never ignoring it: at times following Giorgione's emphatic restlessness, at other times with emotional embroidery, occasionally conveyed with a more animated composition originating in central Italy or often, rereading the growing naturalism found in the North and the feeling for colour found in local tradition. The magic union of figure and landscape triggered by Giorgione, his chromatic inventions, are a fundamental legacy that was not lost. Through contact with the growing mannerist influences and the personal contributions of a rich generation of new talents, it burst forth in a "revolutionary" representation of reality - in the extraordinary personality of Caravaggio - which, in turn, exerted its influence on painting in Rome and the greater part of Europe. Curated by Vittorio Sgarbi with the collaboration of Mario Lucco, Natura e Maniera tra Tiziano e Caravaggio presents works being seen in public for the first time, works that have been newly attributed and pointed and accurate interpretations. This highly articulate journey, alongside the "giants" of this period, leads us to the discovery of artists of great value and works that are lesser known, allowing us to compare the experiences and the different personalities who produced the art of the Po valley region during the sixteenth century, an extraordinary artistic civilization and a patrimony that has no equal in the history of European culture.
