"An Evening with Colson Whitehead"

“Be kind to everybody, make art, and fight the power.”

The first writer to win back-to-back Pulitzer Prizes for consecutive works of fiction, acclaimed American author Colson Whitehead has established himself as one of the most dazzling and innovative voices in contemporary literature. From the ground-shifting The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys to the razor-sharp Harlem Shuffle and Crook Manifesto, his books are drenched in character, culture, and incisive reflections on American life.

Warm, candid, and often very funny, Whitehead brings honesty and wit to conversations about writing, history, and the power of storytelling to help us better understand ourselves and the world around us.
