"There are a couple of slav narratives that are about the sea but there isn't any fiction. I loc upon the slave trade as prett much untraveled territory."

Rutherford comes from Illinois. He is a freed slave. He is well-read. He is in trouble. "In plain English, I was a petty thief," Rutherford admits. He has antagonized a local underworld figure and faces an unhappy "business arrangement:" marry Isadora, a woman Rutherford does not love, 3 or face retribution that need not be discussed. i 7 He does neither. When a 3 drunken sailor passes out in front a of him, Rutherford steals his papi ers and rushes to the pier, where 1 the Republic rocks in the water.

Johnson calls Rutherford an o "antihero." d "The character simply grew out 1. of the story," John-son said. "I e knew it had to be in New Orleans, and how do you get to New Orleans? Well, you're either born n there or you went there from e somewhere else, and I knew southi em Illinois very well since I had is grown up there and went to school i- for several years." Johnson originally wanted to be s, a cartoonist and sold his first o drawing at age 17. At the same " time, he published his first short ie story, three paragraphs in his high d school newspaper. But Johnson couldn't shake the e idea of writing and earned a bas, chelor's degree in journalism and ik philosophy from Southern Illinois ;y University. "One day I had this novel in my is brain, and after writing it I showed Ik it to this friend of mine; it wasn't ie very good," recalled Johnson, who in was greatly influenced at school by nt author John Gardner.
