«Thereafter Johnnie» is the novel by Carolivia Herron published by Vintage in 1992 in paperback, with 243 pages in English.
Johnnie is a mute girl born of an incestuous relationship; her story is a journey in search of identity in which family myths and African American memory intersect. The novel addresses race, xenophobia, love, and the secrets of lineage, and offers a perspective on how the past and one's own heritage are constructed.
This edition is a reprint from Vintage Books. The cover reproduces a quote from The New York Times Book Review comparing it to «The Color Purple», «Beloved», and «Linden Hills».
For readers of African American fiction interested in family memory and identity.
