Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From National Book Award-winning author, Charles Johnson, comes a wonderful mythic novel, part slave narrative, part comedy, part myth--first 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 offspring--Andrew 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 spirit--and it reveals the author as a great talent with even greater humanity. When a slaveowner and his African-American butler drunkenly decide to switch places in each other's beds, the result is a hilarious imbroglio and an offspring, Andrew Hawkins, whose life becomes the "Oxherding Tale," a deliciously funny, bitterly ironic account of slavery, racism, oppression--and the African-American spirit--in the Old South.
