  • Description

    In Charles Johnson: The Novelist as Philosopher, leading scholars examine the African American author’s literary corpus and major themes, ideas, and influences. The essays explore virtually all of Johnson’s writings: each of his novels, his numerous short stories, the range of his nonfiction essays, his many book reviews, and even several unpublished works.
