In League with Israel: A Tale of the Chattanooga Conference

Annie F. Johnston

Beschreibung

In her thought-provoking novel, "In League with Israel: A Tale of the Chattanooga Conference," Annie F. Johnston masterfully weaves a narrative that delves into the fraught complexities of 19th-century American identity and its relationship with Jewish communities. Employing a rich and evocative literary style, Johnston uses vivid imagery and compelling dialogue to unveil the interactions, tensions, and alliances formed during the Chattanooga Conference. Set against a backdrop of socio-political change, her work reflects the burgeoning discourse on religious tolerance and national unity in a rapidly transforming America. Annie F. Johnston, a prominent author of the early 20th century, was deeply invested in the themes of social justice and cultural integration, which are evident in her oeuvre. Her own experiences and advocacy for various marginalized communities likely informed the lens through which she portrays Jewish-American interactions. By situating her characters in the climactic moments of the Chattanooga Conference, Johnston encapsulates the historical anxieties and aspirations of her time, inviting reflection on the broader implications of these encounters. This engaging narrative is a must-read for scholars interested in American literature, Jewish studies, and historical fiction. Johnston's nuanced exploration of identity and belonging not only captivates but also stimulates critical dialogue about the intersections of race, religion, and community in American history. Readers who appreciate richly layered storytelling will find themselves immersed in a tale that resonates beyond its pages.

Jackson Alone

Jose Ando

Four Black Japanese gay men team up to exact revenge in a culture where discrimination is deep-seated. A searing, darkly funny debut from the Akutagawa Prize–winning author. 
  
Nobody at the corporate offices of Athletius Japan knows much about the massage therapist, Jackson—but rumors abound. He used to work as a model. He likes to party. He’s mixed race—half-Japanese, half-somewhere-in-Africa-n. He might be gay. Fueling the gossip is the sudden appearance of a violent pornographic video featuring a man who looks a lot like Jackson. 
  
When Jackson serendipitously meets three other queer mixed-race guys, he learns he’s not the only one being targeted. Together they concoct a plan: find out who’s responsible and, in the meantime, switch identities and play tricks on people—a boyfriend, a boss—who’ve wronged them, exploiting the fact that nobody can seem to tell them apart. 
  
A short, blistering gut punch of a novel, Jackson Alone is at turns satirical and deadpan, angry and tender—a frank exploration of identity, race, and queerness in contemporary Japan that announces Jose Ando as a singular new talent in the global literary scene.
