Includes List of Other Books by Colson Whitehead; Author Dedication and About the Author. "From two-time Pulitzer Pr…ize winning author Colson Whitehead, a gloriously entertaining novel of heists, shakedowns, and rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s. "Ray Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked ." To his customers and neighbors on 125th Street, Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture, making a decent life for himself and his family. He and his wife, Elizabeth, are expecting their second child, and if her parents on Striver's Row don't approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks, it's still home. Few people know he descents from a line of uptown hoods and crooks, and that his facade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger all the time. Cash is tight, especially with all those installment plan sofas, so if his cousin Freddie occasionally drops off the odd ring or necklace, Ray doesn't ask where it comes from. He knows a discreet jeweler downtown who doesn't ask questions either. Then Freddie falls in with a crew who plan to rob the Hotel Theresa - the "Warldorf of Harlem" - and volunteers Ray's services as the fence. The heist doesn't go as planned; they rarely do. Now Ray has a new clientele, one made up of shady cops, vicious local gangsters, two-bit pornographers, and other assorted Harlem lowlifes. Thus begins the internal tussle between Ray the striver and Ray the crook. As Ray navigates this double life, he begins to see who actually pulls the strings in Harlem. Can Ray avoid getting killed, save his cousin, and grab his share of the big score, all while maintaining his reputation as the go-to source for all your quality home furniture needs? Harlem Shuffle's ingenious story plays out in a beautifully re-created New York City of the early 1960s. It's a family saga masquerading as a crime novel, a hilarious morality play, a social novel about race and power, and, ultimately, a love letter to Harlem. But mostly, it's a joy to read, another dazzling novel from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winning Colson Whitehead." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Colson Whitehead is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of ten works of fiction and nonfiction, and he is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, for The Nickel Boys and The Underground Railroad, which also won the National Book Award. A recipient of MacArthur and Guggenheim fellowships, he lives in New York City. Joay, Pei Loi (book design); Munday, Oliver (jacket design) (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Oliver Whitehead (b. 1947) is a versatile artist who moved from England to Finland in 1971. He works across a wide range of mediums, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, moving images, and spoken word. His practice is shaped by a critical contemporary perspe…ctive, while still leaving room for viewers to form their own interpretations of the world and its state. Whitehead's work often revisits themes such as the fetishistic nature of consumer culture, the observation of urban spaces, journal-like reflections on daily life, and the theme of peace, which he has explored through chalk drawings in public spaces. This book offers an insight into the artist's long career and the recurring themes in his work. Text in English, Swedish and Finnish. 175 pp.
