Crook Manifesto
by Colson Whitehead
I enjoy this series. It reads kinda like a gumshoe detective novel, even though it’s about crooks. I find Carney believable as a working stiff with a Harlem criminal sideline, for the era & it’s romantic about old New York in a way that the nostalgia works for me.
Anyway: this one is an opera in three acts, or: three novellas, really. Really enjoyed the first two. Plot of the last one is a little bit clunkier, (and he’s REALLY committed to stringing the Manhattan schist concept through it). It’s fun, in a lighthearted criminal way with some high-level political tentacles. Good summer read
