Harlem Shuffle: A Novel | Colson Whitehead

Liked but didn‘t love feel I would have appreciated it more if I actually knew Harlem.

That said this was a nostalgic look at life in the 50s and 60s and I particularly enjoyed the furniture descriptions.

I have read most of Colson Whitehead's books. I first met Colson while I was a member of The Barnes and Noble Mystery Book Club. We got a chance to read and discuss Sag Harbor before it was published. I remember thinking how much I loved his humor and what an excellent writer he was. Whenever I see that Colson has a new book, I strive to get a copy in order to read it.

EadieB I'm very thankful that NetGalley and Doubleday Books approved me to read a copy of Harlem Shuffle for an honest review. The book is basically a love letter to Harlem, a family saga and a crime novel rolled into one. It is an entertaining read about heists, shakedowns and ripoffs set in early 1960 Harlem. His characters are unforgettable as Colson is a great storyteller and paints a picture in your mind as the novel unfolds. 3y
EadieB If you love crime novels then you should invest in this book. If you want to learn more about Colson, I also suggest that you read Sag Harbor, as that book is somewhat autobiographical. 3y
Kammbia1 I have Sag Harbor on my shelf. I will have to get to it. Thanks for the reminder. 3y
EadieB @Kammbia1 You‘re welcome! 3y
