Dancing in the Dark is a 2005 novel by Kittitian-British writer Caryl Phillips that won the PEN Open Book Award (formerly known as the Beyond Margins Award) in 2006. The novel reimagines the life of Bert Williams (1874—1922), the first black entertainer in the U.S. to achieve the highest levels of fame and fortune, but the story also deals with, in the words of the author's website, "the tragedies of race and identity, and the perils of self-invention, that have long plagued American culture".
