Colson Whitehead

I went to hear and see Colson Whitehead speak last night at Evanston Township High School. He was in town to speak at a number of events and I was glad to have the opportunity to see him. I believe I went to one of his readings in Brooklyn years ago. I vaguely recall that, but I'm not 100% certain. (They say the mind is the first to go...) I enjoy a lot of Colson's books. I read The Underground Railroad over Christmas last year and I'd also read his novels John Henry Days, Apex Hides the Hurt, and Sag Harbor. I highly recommend checking him out if you haven't already. John Henry Days is my favorite of the books he's written.
