Rezension bezieht sich auf: DREAMER: A Novel About Martin Luther King, Jr. (Gebundene Ausgabe)
Johnson weaves a great storyline, smart character studies, and philosophical lineages rather effortlessly. Not really, I'm sure, but it does seem that way. The book works on several levels, none of which contradict or hinder the other. For me, the moral conflict between duty towards the state and duty towards the person is the highlight, coming along side classics like Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" or Ngugi's "A Grain of Wheat" in the area of marrying the conflict of the time, the individual, and their relationship to one another. Highly recommended.
