Summary:
"Since the publication of his first novel, The Intuitionist in 1999,
Colson
Whitehead
(b. 1969) has been considered an important new voice in American literature. His seven subsequent books have done little to contradict that initial assessment, especially after 2016's The Underground Railroad spent numerous weeks at the top of bestseller lists and won numerous major literary awards, including the Pulitzer Prize. Ranging from 2001 to 2016, the twenty-three
interviews
collected in Conversations with
Colson
Whitehead
reveal the workings of one of America's most idiosyncratic and most successful literary minds. Through these
interviews
, it is clear that none of this well-earned praise has gone to his head. If anything, he still seems inclined to present himself as an awkward misfit who writes about such offbeat subject matter as rival groups of elevator inspectors, the insufficiency of off-brand 'flesh-colored' bandages, or a literalized alternate version of the Underground Railroad.
Whitehead
speaks at length about matters related to his craft, including his varied literary and nonliterary influences, the particular methods of researching and writing that have proved valuable to telling his stories, and the ways in which he has managed the rollercoaster life of a professional writer. He also opens up about popular culture, particularly the unconventional blend of music, genre-fiction, B movies, and comic books that he gleefully identifies as a passion that has persisted for him since his childhood."--Publisher.
