This Bird of Dawning Singeth All Night Long
Author(s):
Phillip Hayes Dean
Asleep in her apartment in the wee hours of the morning, Anne, a white woman, is jarred awake by a ringing telephone, and then again and again, until she rips the cord from the wall in frustration. But then the ringing phone is replaced by a knock at the door, her insistent caller being a black woman--who claims that she is Anne's twin sister, Nancy. Rattled and fearful, Anne tries to decoy her unwelcome visitor from the apartment, but Nancy stays. Gradually their encounter develops into a revealing, provocative and, ultimately, fatal confrontation, which yields a disturbing yet perceptive study of racial distrust, and the essential brotherhood which this subverts and denies.
