"Colson Whitehead has a new book out! A follow-up to Harlem Shuffle, Crook Manifesto returns to Ray Carney's Harlem---this time in the 1970s---with its strivers, survivors, aspirations, walls, cynics, and crooks of all degrees. And whenever Whitehead has this much fun in a New York setting, you can be assured of two things: (1) it will be a love letter to New York City; and (2) it will have the most steller turns of phrase that your literature-loving heart could ever hope to read & re-read. Fun, funny, and gloriously entertaining!" -- Jennifer M., Adult Book Buyer
