4.5

This is an inventive novel that balances the top-notch prose, strong character work, and commentary on race/racism for which Colson Whitehead’s later books are so well-known with elements of speculative fiction/alternate history and a more thriller-adjacent plot. Whether you’re already a fan of his work or not, it’s an excellent read.
