Summary

Summary

Howard Norman’s The Bird Artist, the first book of his Canadian trilogy, begins in 1911. Its narrator, Fabian Vas, is a bird artist: he draws and paints the birds of Witless Bay, his remote Newfoundland coastal village home. In the first paragraph of his tale, Fabian reveals that he has murdered the village lighthouse keeper, Botho August. Later, he confesses who and what drove him to his crime—a measured, profoundly engrossing story of passion, betrayal, guilt, and redemption between men and women. 

The Bird Artist is a 1994 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.

“Combines colorful backwoods eccentrics and gothic melodrama that strongly resembles the work of film director David Lynch.” Library Journal
