“One feels honored to be in the presence of Johnson’s witty philosophical mind, and, not incidentally, stunned by the graceful virtuosity of his sentences.”
New York Times Book Review, praise for the author
National Book Award winner and MacArthur Genius Fellow Charles Johnson shares life lessons for the next generation in this accessible distillation of wisdom, stories, and philosophy on being a grandparent.
An award-winning novelist, philosopher, essayist, screenwriter, professor, and cartoonist, Charles Johnson has held numerous impressive titles over the course of his incomparable career. Now, for the first time, with his trademark wisdom and philosophical generosity, he turns his attention to his most important role yet: grandparent.
In Grand, Johnson shares stories from his life with his six-year-old grandson Emery, weaving in advice and life lessons that stand the test of time. Johnson offers profound meditations on family, race, freedom, and creativity.
Joyful, lucid, and deeply comforting, Grand is Johnson at his most accessible and profound, an indispensable compendium for new grandparents and growing grandchildren alike, from one of America’s most revered thinkers.
