Colson Whitehead in conversation with Nesrine Malik

Cool Machine

 – Kilden Konsertsalen
Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead takes the Festival by storm with his highly anticipated new book, Cool Machine. The final installment of his acclaimed Harlem trilogy is, above all else, an unapologetically fun, soul-stirring love letter to New York City. Spanning the years 1981 to 1983, the novel serves as a powerful exploration of the systemic issues plaguing the city during that era, from street crime and municipal neglect to exploitative real estate practices whose consequences are still felt today. In this captivating conversation with Nesrine Malik, Whitehead explores the striking parallels between his fiction and our present day.
