Song of the Shank is a novel inspired by the life of Thomas Greene Wiggins, a 19th-century African American piano virtuoso known as Blind Tom. Told from the perspectives of those around him, the book explores themes of blindness, race, and the significance of art and critical thought. It offers an imaginative reflection on these complex issues in a richly textured narrative.
