Colson Whitehead's 'Cool Machine' Closes a Harlem Epic
The two-time Pulitzer winner concludes his acclaimed Harlem Trilogy with a 1980s crime caper that critics are calling both a rollicking heist story and a fitting end to a New York fiction classic. Whitehead trades the historical weight of his award-winning novels for freewheeling genre pleasures without abandoning his sharp social eye.
