Night Bird

By J.K. Savoy

Book Overview

Set in 1968, Night Bird is a coming-of-age novel about war, conscience, and one young man's last night before the draft closes in. Joey is twenty-one, working the graveyard shift in a small New Jersey diner while Vietnam waits in the background like a sentence already passed. Around him, the regulars argue America into pieces: veterans, radicals, workers, dreamers, and people trying to survive the news. As Robert F. Kennedy's assassination breaks through the noise of The Castle Diner, Joey is forced to confront what he believes, what he owes his country, and what it costs to stay silent. For readers of Vietnam-era fiction, 1960s political novels, working-class coming-of-age stories, and intimate fiction about moral choice under pressure.
