This collection, Johnson's first in nearly fifty years, brings together work from across his career: college newspaper gags, selections from his books Black Humor and Half-Past Nation Time, his unpublished manuscript Lumps in the Melting Pot, and uncollected pieces. ![]() He populated them with bullet-dodging Black Panthers, doubt-filled Klansmen, militant babies, self-serving politicians, and complacent suburban liberals. Reimagining the gag comic as a powerful and incendiary tool, Johnson tackled America's mid-century afflictions-segregation, inner-city poverty, police brutality, and white supremacy-by craftily subverting stale gag tropes. Taught via mail correspondence course by the comics editor Lawrence Lariar, mentored by the New Yorker cartoonist Charles Barsotti, and inspired by the call of poet Amiri Baraka to celebrate and depict Black life in America, Johnson crafted some of the fiercest and funniest cartoons of the twentieth century. Before Charles Johnson found fame as a novelist and won the National Book Award for Middle Passage in 1991, he was a cartoonist, and a very good one. ![]() Years before he wrote his National Book Award-winning novel Middle Passage, Charles Johnson created these sidesplitting and subversive gag comics about Black life in America, now collected for the first time in nearly half a century. ![]() ![]() ![]() Celia’s fine eye for detail-work (even if no one seems to know it other than herself) is matched by her close observations of the people around her these are rendered fascinatingly through the simple, direct language of a bright, introspective person with little formal education.

I thought about arranging them in some sort of order of age-appropriateness or character quality, but each of them really fit into too many categories.

Taken as a whole, the book can be seen as organized like a bicycle wheel, where the idea of “The South” sits in the middle and the spokes attaching to it represent the individual states that are joined to it: they are not the same, but similar, and each requires the other to construct the whole of the object and allow for it to function properly.īy dividing Confederates in the Attic into fifteen distinct chapters where each centers around a specific place, Horwitz creates a sense of uniqueness among the different Southern states and the people who populate them. Moreover, while many works of nonfiction will often have a central thesis that the author is trying to argue and prove, Confederates in the Attic lacks a central argument at its core rather, it is more of an exploration of a place and people, and the presentation of what Horwitz uncovers along the way. In Confederates in the Attic, Horwitz blocks his narrative into specific locations, choosing to discuss his entire visit to an individual state in one section before closing out and moving on to the next stop along his journey. ![]() |
