Author of the Week
African-American author Colson Whitehead is not known for writing the same novel twice -- he's ranged from a high-concept, philosophical tale dealing with race and history in a near-future U.S. to a warm, realistic, somewhat autobiographical novel to a satirical, literate take on the post-apocalyptic zombie genre -- but there are a few things you're guaranteed to get in each of his inventive, original books: shrewd humor, evocative writing, well-crafted characters, sharp social commentary, and plenty of references to popular culture. Start with: The Underground Railroad (fiction); The Colossus of New York (nonfiction).
