Books by Colson Whitehead

Book

Zone One (2011)

I'd probably give this a 3.5 (I should re-scale my reviews, because if something is a one-star, I don't finish it, and thus I have no one-star reviews) based on the writing, but it falls in the category of something I really have no interest in reading again, one of my personal criteria for a 4/5...

Sag Harbor (2009)

What it lacks in dramatic happening it makes up for in thick description. At times this latter quality bogs the story down, but once can get invested in the rhythm.

These narratives loop backward and ...

Apex Hides the Hurt (2006)

This review may have very mild spoilers, so I think it's safe in that regard without any alerts, at least for anyone who reads other reviews of this book.The best place for me to start this review is with the novel’s location of Winthrop, which is a stand-in for America, and for which Apex is it’...
