David Harvey, Professor of Geography and Anthropology Graduate Center, City University of New York. Three years after the near collapse of global financial markets, America is still struggling with unemployment, debt, and foreclosure, European governments are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy—and the world's billionaires are getting richer faster than ever before.

As Whitehead touches on everything from writers block to the perfect sentence, from Saul Bellow to TS Eliot, he proves that writing is a sport without rules. His collection of essays, alternately based on real people or written under pseudonym, is funny and provocative. Whitehead, a master performer, enhances his reading selections with animated storytelling. Colson Whitehead:...
