Night Hawks by Charles Johnson
A masterful story collection--thirteen years in the making--from National Book Award winner Charles Johnson, showcasing the incredible range and resonant voice of this American treasure. This new collection of stories from National Book Award winner Charles Johnson offers an eclectic, engaging range of narratives, tied together by Buddhist themes and displaying all the grace, heart, and insight for which he has long been known. In The Weave, Ieesha and her boyfriend carry out a heist at the salon from which she has just been fired--coming away with thousands of dollars of merchandise in the form of hair extensions. Night Hawks, the titular story, draws on Johnson's friendship with the late playwright August Wilson to construct a narrative about two writers who meet at night to talk. In Kamadhatu, a lonely Japanese abbot has his quiet world upended by a visit from a black American Buddhist whose presence pushes him toward the awakening he has long found elusive. Occupying Arthur Whitfield, about a cab driver who decides to rob the home of a wealthy passenger, reminds readers to be grateful for what they have. And The Night Belongs to Phoenix Jones combines the real-life story of a superhero in the city of Seattle with an invented narrative about an aging English professor who decides to join him. Spanning genres from science fiction to realism, these stories convey messages of tolerance, hope, and gratitude. With precise, elegant, and moving language, Johnson creates memorable characters and real, human struggles that have the power to enlighten and change us as we read.| SKU | CIN1501184385G |
