About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 2019. SIGNED. 1st/1st. NF/NF. Stated First Edition. First printing with complete 10 number line ending in 1. Signed by Colson Whitehead on the title page. The unread book is tight and square with solid hinges and clean boards. Light creases to the spine head and top corners. The textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate or markings and not BCE, ex-library or remaindered. The dust jacket is unclipped ($24.95) with very faint wear to the spine head. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover. 213 pages. 5¾ x 8½" tall. Winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
Inspired by a Florida news story, the Pulitzer Prize-winner imagines two black boys fighting to survive a juvenile reformatory in the Jim Crow South. Like The Underground Railroad, the book draws from U.S. history to underscore the continued relevance of the characters' oppression.
