Book Buzz : Crook Manifesto by Colson Whitehead
It's 1971 New York. Trash piles up on the streets, crime is at an all-time high, the city is careening towards bankruptcy, and a shooting war has broken out between the NYPD and the Black Liberation Army. Amidst this collective nervous breakdown furniture store owner and ex-fence Ray Carney tries to keep his head down and his business thriving. Whitehead continues his Harlem saga in a novel that summons 1970s New York in all its seedy glory.
Copies will be available at Main Library one month before the discussion. Also Available on Libby.
