With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Colson Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to the Meadowlands, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead’s vivid characters, it’s what’s below the surface that reveals the truth.
Colson Whitehead is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, for The Nickel Boys and The Underground Railroad (which received the National Book Award and was named one of the Ten Best Books of the Year by The New York Times Book Review). He is the author of The Noble Hustle, Zone One, Sag Harbor, The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, Apex Hides the Hurt, The Colossus of New York, and the two previous books in the Harlem Trilogy: Harlem Shuffle and Crook Manifesto.
