    Extractions: UAlbany, Uptown Campus (photo credit: Natasha Stovall) Novelist Colson Whitehead was among the 24 winners of a $500,000 MacArthur Foundation "genius award" for 2002. The awards, which were announced this September, are given to scholars, artists, and others to free them to pursue their work. The Foundation praised Whitehead's novels for their inventive plots that weave American folklore and history into the stoires. Colson Whitehead's multilayered second novel, John Henry Days (2001) juxtaposes the story of the 19 th century folk-hero John Henry, a black railroad worker who died in the act of defeating a steam drill in a contest, with J. Sutter, a modern-day hack journalist who is sent to cover a John Henry Day festival. Sutter is engaged in his own private contest to attend back-to-back press junkets for the free food and paid expenses. Praising the novel for exploring such dualities as legend and history, black and white, altruism and greed, and the machine age and the digital age, Booklist called it "masterfully composed and full of myth and magic."

    Extractions: Edition Desc: 1 ED Whitehead’s novel, immortalizes the African American folk hero, "John Henry". Centered around the unveiling of a commemorative stamp to honor the former slave, the story combines, through multi-dimensions of characters and exploits, the dilemmas and dualities of man, machine, history, myth, popular culture and racism. Whitehead lives in Brooklyn, New York. The Intuitionist Pub. Date: January 2000 The Intuitionist is a tale of race, mystery and suspense in a time and place that is similar to ours. Lila Mae Watson is the first black elevator inspector. When an elevator in the new government building, that Lila Mae inspected, falls, it is up to Lila Mae to discover what happened. Whitehead is another author that I have my eye on. The Intuitionist is a gem. Thumper, AALBC.com

Man wird nur schwer den Verdacht los, dass der Zug, den man kriegen wollte, gerade weggefahren, dass sein letztes Quietschen in dem Moment verklungen ist, da man den Bahnsteig erreicht hat, und wenn man sich anders verhalten hätte, wäre alles besser. Man hätte früher aufbrechen, sich nicht stundenlang aufbrezeln sollen. Neue Überlegungen: ein Taxi nehmen, mit dem Bus fahren, zu Fuß gehen. Nein, es ist zu weit, und der Zug kommt gleich. Bestimmt kommt er. Sonst stünde man schließlich nicht hier. Das hier ist die sagenumwobene Fahrt durch den Untergrund, Leute, und es wird noch erheblich schlimmer, bevor es besser wird. Am Gleis gegenüber müsste man sein, dort kann man sich vor Zügen kaum retten. Aus seinem geheimen Kabuff verbreitet der Ansager abwechselnd Trost und Schrecken. Dementsprechend erschlaffen oder straffen sich die Körper auf dem Bahnsteig. Mit einem Regler, mit dem er das Rauschen reguliert. Wie sie wohl wohnen, die Männer an den Mikrofonen? Eines Tages werden die finanziellen Unregelmäßigkeiten der U-Bahn-Ansager-Gewerkschaft ans Licht kommen, und dann ist Schluss mit Thermalbädern und Hummer, aber bis dahin saufen sie Schampus.

    Extractions: John Henry Days , Colson Whitehead builds upon this simple tale to create a contrapuntal masterpiece. The narrative revolves around J. Sutter, a young black journalist. Sutter is a "junketeer," a freeloading hack who roams from one publicity event to the next, abusing his expense account and meeting for biweekly sex with a publicist named Monica. It is 1996, and an assignment for a travel Web site takes Sutter to West Virginia for the first annual John Henry Days festival, a celebration of a new U.S. postage stamp honoring John Henry. And there, in a small rural town, the real story of John Henry emerges in graceful counterpoint to Sutter's thoroughly modern adventure. As Whitehead explores the parallels between the lives of these two men, and between the Industrial Age, which literally killed John Henry, and the Digital Age, which is destroying J. Sutter's soul, he also adds multiple dimensions to the myth of the steel-driving man. John Henry Days is a novel of extraordinary scope and mythic power that juxtaposes history with popular culture, the blatant bigotry of the past with the more insidious racism of the present, and laugh-out-loud humor with unforgettable poignancy.

    Extractions: Agony Column Home Agony Column Review Archive REFERENCES COLUMNS General Fiction Science Fiction Fantasy There is always another world. While we live in the present, our present, we yearn for another place and time, either in the future or the past, perhaps somehow in both. Words will define a world, but they can also unfurl a world, free it from the specificities that confine it to a certain time and place. Once the world is freed from the specific, a writer's imagination of that world, a writer's definition of that world, can live in the small details that are common to all worlds. Those small details can evoke the currents of power and privilege that move all men and women. Colson Whitehead creates a confined world of elevator inspectors in an unnamed city that is surely New York, then frees the world with the experience of 'The Intuitionist', the first black woman to join their ranks. Lila Mae Watson is complex, memorable, often frustrating. But she's never wrong. Two warring factions exist within the Department of Elevator Inspectors. The Empiricists are rational, by-the-book inspectors, who carefully check each gear, pulley and brake to ensure that vertical travel is safe in the city. Intuitionists simply step in an elevator and know if something is wrong. Lila Mae is the most accurate of the latter faction, but it's an elevator that she inspected that goes into free-fall, embarrassing and potentially endangering the mayor. Pursued by both factions, this careful, almost prissy woman goes off the rails in a very controlled manner to find out who sabotaged the elevator and why. It must be sabotage because Lila Mae is never wrong.

    Extractions: Agony Column Home Agony Column Review Archive REFERENCES COLUMNS Non-Fiction General Fiction Readers know that genre classifications are more a marketing tool than a literary device. Books of a certain nature are more likely to sell when placed in the vicinity of others of a similar nature. If you like mysteries, it's easier to find them in amidst the mysteries rather than searching through the entirety of a bookstore's fiction selection. That's why in spite of the arguments that favor it, we're unlikely to see a trend in which bookstores simply offer one monolithic section devoted to FICTION. But the difference between fiction and non-fiction should, in theory, be pretty clear. And, in practice, it is pretty clear. Moreover, readers and booksellers alike appreciate the difference and the fact that the two aren't simply shelved together. In general, perhaps one could say that non-fiction purports to inform and entertain with facts, while fiction purports to inform and entertain with inventions. The two may contain facets of one another. A non-fiction book may in fact be a pack of lies or a fictional book may be packed with facts both emotional and actual. Even in cases where the two are deliberately confused, the difference is usually clear. But it is very rare that a book rests easily between the worlds of fiction and non-fiction before being read. And upon reading, a work simply declares itself to the reader as one or the other. Or so you might think. But apparently, that needn't be the case. It's possible for a writer to speak of the facts in the language of fiction. The borderline between non-fiction and fiction has never been as porous as it in Colson Whitehead's beautifully written 'The Colossus of New York'.

    Extractions: Eintritt: 7,-/ 5,-/ 4,- Euro John Henry war ein »Bohrhauer«, er war schwarz und besiegte eine dampfbetriebene Bohrmaschine in einem Rennen um die Zeit. Danach ist er tot umgefallen – so die Legende. Im Kontrast zu diesem Helden der amerikanischen Folklore steht J. Sutter, freier Journalist und »Spesenritter«. Sein »heroisches« Bestreben besteht darin, an möglichst vielen aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen mindestens eine Publicity- Veranstaltung zu besuchen und damit einen neuen Rekord aufzustellen. Ein – in dieser Hinsicht – lukrativer Auftrag führt Sutter nach Talcott, West Virginia, um über die Ausgabe einer John- Henry- Briefmarke und das dazugehörige Festival John Henry Days zu berichten und die Spuren John Henrys in der amerikanischen Geschichte zu verfolgen. Die Kritik feierte Whiteheads Roman als großes Epochenpanorama, geschrieben mit »unfehlbarem Instinkt für das Epische und das Satirische.« (
