History by the Book Club

Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead

The powerful tale of a man's love for his family and the neighborhood where he lives. This novel is set in New York City in the early 1960's.

Harlem Shuffle's ingenious story plays out in a beautifully recreated New York City of the early 1960s. It's a family saga masquerading as a crime novel, a hilarious morality play, a social novel about race and power, and ultimately a love letter to Harlem. But mostly, it's a joy to read, another dazzling novel from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning Colson Whitehead.
