Description
“New York is a character in the book, and I hate it when people are like ‘the city's almost a character’” One of our favorites of 2023, Colson Whitehead’s Crook Manifesto is a crime novel and so much more with unforgettable characters and a gritty portrait of New York in the 70s. Whitehead joined us to talk about his portrayal of the city he grew up in, creating a code of honor for criminals, important movie references and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over. This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Executive Producer Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang. New episodes land Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional Saturdays) here and on your favorite podcast app. Featured Books (Episode): Crook Manifesto by Colson Whitehead Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead The World According to Fannie Davis by Bridgett Davis The Colossus of New York by Colson Whitehead
