Another winner from Colson Whitehead. It took me a minute to remember some of the characters - it's been three years since I read Harlem Shuffle. This was a fantastic follow up and I can't wait to see what's in store for Carney, and I hope Pepper, next.

Colson is a genius, but the saga of Ray Carney has lost my interest. Here's hoping he'll turn his talents to something else soon.
