A twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Charles Johnson's National Book Award-winning masterpiece--"a novel in the tradition of Billy Budd and Moby-Dick...heroic in proportion...fiction that hooks the mind" (The New York Times Book Review)--now with a new introduction from Stanley Crouch.

Rutherford Calhoun, a newly freed slave and irrepressible rogue, is lost in the underworld of 1830s New Orleans. Desperate to escape the city's unscrupulous bill collectors and the pawing hands of a schoolteacher hellbent on marrying him, he jumps aboard the Republic, a slave ship en route to collect members of a legendary African tribe, the Allmuseri. Thus begins a voyage of metaphysical horror and human atrocity, a journey which challenges our notions of freedom, fate and how we live together. Peopled with vivid and unforgettable characters, nimble in its interplay of comedy and serious ideas, this dazzling modern classic is a perfect blend of the picaresque tale, historical romance, sea yarn, slave narrative and philosophical allegory.

Now with a new introduction from renowned writer and critic Stanley Crouch, this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Middle Passage celebrates a cornerstone of the American canon and the masterwork of one of its most important writers. "Long after we'd stopped believe in the great American novel, along comes a spellbinding adventure story that may be just that" (Chicago Tribune).

Best old guy shoes. They look great and have support for feet. You don't want cheap department shoes. You will pay for that in your later years.

Comfort Meets Performance — Nike Men’s Journey Run Road Running Shoes
Size: 10.5, Color: Black/Summit White/Anthracite/Cyber
I picked up the Nike Men’s Journey Run Road Running Shoes on a whim, and they turned out to be a great surprise. From the first wear, they felt comfortable and lightweight, with cushioning that makes walking and running on pavement much easier on the feet. They don’t feel overly stiff or bulky, which I appreciate for everyday use. What I like most is how versatile they are. I’ve worn them for short runs, gym workouts, and even casual outings, and they’ve held up well in all situations. The fit is true to size, and the upper feels breathable enough to stay comfortable throughout the day. They also have a clean, simple look that pairs well with both athletic and casual clothes. Traction has been solid on roads and sidewalks, and I haven’t noticed any slipping, even on slightly wet surfaces. While they may not be designed for competitive racing, they’re perfect for daily training, walking, or anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable running shoe. Overall, the Nike Journey Run shoes offer good comfort, dependable performance, and everyday style. A solid choice if you want a no-nonsense running shoe that you can wear beyond just your workouts.
