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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bird Artist \u003c\/i\u003eis a 1994 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHoward Norman\u003c\/b\u003e is also a National Book Award finalist for \u003ci\u003eThe Northern Lights\u003c\/i\u003e.
