belonging. Set in the near future, the eponymous novella,

&#8220MyMonticello,&#8221tells of a diverse group of

Charlottesville neighbors fleeing violent white supremacists.

Led by Da&#8217Nasha, a young Black descendant of

Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, they seek refuge in

Jefferson&#8217historic plantation home in a desperate

attempt to outlive the long-foretold racial and environmental

unravelling within the nation.In &#8220Cotrol

Negro,&#8221hailed by Roxane Gay as &#8220onhell of

story,&#8221a university professor devotes himself to the

study of racism and the development of ACMs (average

American Caucasian males) by clinically observing his own

son from birth in order to &#8220panstakingly mark the route

of this Black child too, one whom I could prove was so

strikingly decent and true that America could not find fault in

him unless we as a nation had projected it

there.&#8221Johnson&#8217characters all seek out home as

a place and an internal state, whether in the form of a Nigerian

widower who immigrates to a meager existence in the city of

Alexandria, finding himself adrift a young mixed-race woman

who adopts a new tongue and name to escape the landscapes

of rural Virginia and her family or a single mother who seeks

salvation through &#8220Buing a House Ahead of the

Apocalypse.&#8221Unted by these

characters&#8217relentless struggles against reality and fate,

My Monticello is a formidable book that bears witness to this

country&#8217legacies and announces the arrival of a wildly

original new voice in American fiction. - My Monticello: Fiction
