Mister Johnson

No ratings yet

From the jacket copy: > The central character of this unique novel of Africa is *Mister Johnson,* a gangling, loveable, almost unbelievable Negro clerk. He is deeply attached to all things English without ever realizing their true significance. Childishly confident of his own abilities he goes gaily on until he has lost his job, his wife, and finally his life. >At once comic and sad, profound and ludicrous, this is one of Joyce Cary's finest novels. >"Of the four novels that have come out of his African experience, *Mister Johnson* is the best, at once most humorous and sympathetic, fresh and exuberant ..." -- *Time Magazine*
