Birdy :a novel /William Wharton. - 1st ed. - Harmondsworth :Penguin Books,1979,c1978. - 282 p. :ill ;20 cm.

William Wharton's extraordinary novel.

An inventive, hypnotic novel about friendship and family, love and war, madness and beauty, and, above all, "birdness." Wharton crafts an unforgettable tale--one that suggests another notion of sanity in a world that is manifestly insane. Birdy is obsessed with birds beginning with pigeons and moving onto canaries, until finally his only friend, a tough Sicilian, has to go to a Veteran's hospital to coax him back from an organized madness in which he had become a bird.
