Colson Whitehead interview

[Keith, Club Moderator]

Taking a page out of Cari's playbook, here's an interview last year with the author of this month's book selection Colson Whitehead, not long after the book was published. What's interesting is that the other books by this author (I have read any of his yet, The Underground Railroad will be my first by him) are all in different genres. He likes to mix things up. FYI

It also looks like he did an "Ask The Author" Q&A with GoodReads, and GoodReads posted a couple of video clips with him and Oprah. Links below:

These are great. I love how the style for this novel was influenced from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, most specifically from One Hundred Years of Solitude. I also love the literal metaphor of a railroad for this book. It was a clever use of incorporating fantasy into history.

I have not finished the book yet but I had read some interviews with the author. I found it fascinating that his other books are such different genres.

From zombies to faction...he is quite diverse.
