mshusky 's review for:

The Colossus of New York by Colson Whitehead

4.5

adventurous challenging reflective medium-paced

Thoroughly enjoyed this dazzling, small book. I would recommend reading this in small chunks to fully realise the micro vignettes of a chaotic city, and it’s myriad inhabitants as they tumble off the page. It’s almost like reading a stream of consciousness, where one phrase morphs into another idea, triggered by a word or emotion.  A thoroughly enjoyable read.
