Guess what? One of my all-time fave authors, Colson Whitehead, has a new book out. It gets better folks, the book is set in Harlem, USA. Harlem Shuffle is a heist novel set in Harlem between 1959 and 1964. Colson could write about anything and I would buy the book and absolutely love it. His zombie novel, Zone One, was what got me into the whole zombie phenomenon. So there you have it folks, make your way to Word Up Books (2113 Amsterdam Ave) and get your copy ASAP.
