What a joy to read Charles Johnson's beautifully written 2018 story collection, Night Hawks! The dozen inauspicious and diverse tales compel the reader to experiences, antiquity to the future. Johnson’s deeply personal writing makes these unordinary tales feel present, first-hand, real. The reader lives the plights of slaves escaping slave catchers; a Muslim American military medic saving, then killing his racist Major in Afghanistan; post-apocalyptic romance in a world without death. Johnson will pull you in, surprise expectations, soften judgments, prompt tears, and deepen one’s love and respect for life.
