Middle passage / Charles Johnson. by Johnson, Charles Richard, 1948- Plume, 1991. Call #: FICTION JOH Subjects National Book Awards.   Slaves -- Fiction.   Slave trade -- Fiction.   Voyages and travels -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780684855882 (2005 Scribner trade pbk.) 9780452266384 0452266386 Description:  209 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "The year is 1830. Rutherford Calhoun - freed slave, ardent womanizer, and self-confessed liar and thief - must flee New Orleans because of bad debts and an ill-starred romance. His poorly chosen means of escape is to stow away aboard the slave ship Republic en route to pick up human cargo. The ship's captain lives on the borderline between genius and madness, the crew are seafaring scum, and the slaves eventually packed into the hold are members of an ancient tribe of magicians. Thus begins one of the most extraordinary voyages in literature - and one of the most revelatory illuminations of the black American experience, opening our eyes, our minds, and our hearts." -- Back cover. Awards:  Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction, 1990.
