From National Book Awardwinning author, Charles Johnson, comes a wonderful mythic novel, part slave narrative, part comedy, part mythfirst published in 1982 this phenomenally imaginative work marries Johnson's knowledge of philosophy, religion, race and history.One night in the antebellum South, a slave owner and his African American butler stay up to all hours until, too drunk to face their wives, they switch places in each other's beds. The result is a hilarious imbroglio and an offspringAndrew Hawkins, whose life becomes Oxherding Tale. Through sexual escapades, picaresque adventures, and philosophical inquiry, Hawkins navigates white and black worlds and comments wryly on human nature along the way. Told with pure genius, Oxherding Tale is a deliciously funny, bitterly ironic account of slavery, racism, and the human spiritand it reveals the author as a great talent with even greater humanity.
