Description

Oxherding Tale: A Novel by Charles Johnson

A hilarious and biting account of slavery, racism, and human nature, Oxherding Tale is a mythic novel that marries philosophy, religion, and history. When two men switch places in each other's beds, the result is a comedic imbroglio that sets off a chain of events that will change one man's life forever.

Through a series of picaresque adventures and philosophical inquiry, Andrew Hawkins navigates the complexities of white and black worlds, commenting wryly on human nature along the way. With pure genius, Johnson tells a story that is both deliciously funny and bitterly ironic, revealing the author as a great talent with even greater humanity.
