2017: The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
It’s hard to name a book more talked about in 2016-2017 than Colson Whitehead’s lauded novel The Underground Railroad. “Get it, then get another copy for someone you know because you are definitely going to want to talk about it once you read that heart-stopping last page,” wrote Oprah Winfrey, who selected it as a pick in her 2016 Book Club. In addition to the Pulitzer, Whitehead’s book also won the National Book Award. To fans’ delight, Whitehead is returning to fiction this summer: His next novel, The Nickel Boys, will be released on July 15.
