2017 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Fiction
A long accomplished writer, Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad was hugely popular before it became an official pick of Oprah's Book Club. That's because it blends modern day and historical conflict to present a compelling portrait of American life. Whitehead's precise prose offers a truly distinct sense of voice, one that resonates long past the heart-pounding ending. And Bahni Turpin is the ideal vehicle for such a dynamic story, underlining the authenticity and versatility of this instant classic.
