TimesTalks: Colson Whitehead

Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning author Colson Whitehead discusses his recently published book, “The Nickel Boys.” In this bravura follow-up to his No. 1 New York Times best seller “The Underground Railroad,” Whitehead brilliantly dramatizes another strand of American history through the story of two boys sentenced to a hellish reform school in Jim Crow era Florida. Join us for a substantive conversation with Whitehead about his creative process, the civil rights movement and the history of race in America.
