“Commanding a lush, poetic, mellifluous prose instrument” (The Nation) to turn a fantastical, satirical mirror on race and culture, Colson Whitehead is the author of the acclaimed novels The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, and Zone One, as well as of the nonfiction works The Colossus of New York and The Noble Hustle. A Pulitzer Prize finalist, a MacArthur Fellowship recipient, and a PEN/Faulkner finalist, his nonfiction, essays, and reviews have appeared in many of America’s most read and prestigious periodicals. In The Underground Railroad, Whitehead follows a young slave’s harrowing and psychedelic journey to freedom on a supernatural train in the antebellum South.
