I finished Nickel Boys today. It is a book I will never forget. Thank you,Mr. Whitehead.
I started it today. If it wasn’t so late I would have read it!!!❤❤ incredible writer!!!
Thanks so much for posting and featuring this writer, Mr. Colson Whitehead.
Let's pray those tortured souls receive some level of justice.
I read "The Nickel Boys" last year and found it to be not only a powerful story but the writing was extraordinary. As of today, I am halfway through "Harlem Shuffle" which was a Christmas present from my wife. Since I grew up in the 50's and 60's the "vibe" is familiar (and right.) Throughout Mr. Whitehead's work, you can see how Black culture has been molded and shaped by the dominant white culture, while at the same time seeing how people are people, white or black, with the differences mainly a function of conditioning. At least that's one of the things I've taken from his work. Above all, he is a GREAT story teller!
Genius Work. Hard to finish I was Crying So Hard.
The Nickel Boys should win numerous awards!!
Just finished nickel boys...whitehead is a truly gifted storyteller
He’s probably an ENFJ
Very very nice...Thank you...
Interesting. Sounds like a movie my father produced in 1980 called "Brubaker", about a reform warden played by Robert Redford who tries to reform the most corrupt prison in America and discovers unmarked graves of dead prisoners buried on the farm lands surrounding the prison.
L'ennesimo Capolavoro di Colson.
Attraverso la devastante ignoranza del male per arrivare alla più concreta Poesia.
Grandissimo.
I’m reminded of a quote from adult film star, Uschi Digard on why she learned so many languages: because she didn’t to lose their essence when she read works that are translated (paraphrasing).
I suppose her royal genius read the ancient classics in original Greek? The white house boys AKA Nickel Boys struggle with a 1950s Weekly Reader. Many have the reading comprehension and speed of third graders. Lucky for us they are voters, right? Sure, now we are saved.
Pretty good book. Powerful. Very quick read though
Eight books, prizes, life.
Estoy leyendo ahora mismo el libro, voy por la mitad, es una historia sobrecogedora, que te pone los pelos de punta por lo que tuvieron que pasar esos niños, no tenía conocimiento de esto, y gracias a colson whitehead, he sabido de ello, felicidades por el libro y que se haga justicia
Captions please!
Black America's story back in the day.
Anybody surprised Whitehead married a Yt aristocratic woman should read WEB DuBois' 'Souls of Black folk' where he covers 'double consciousness"
Interesting that they only focus on the black kids that were there, when it had white kids that went there too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_School_for_Boys
Go write a book about it then
*I remember when Clifford Irving got plenty of 'Hosannas & Praise' as well* ( *let me know when this guy writes in King's league...selling books by the MILLIONS* )
Well you let me know when you do anything worth more than scribbling about on the back of a bar bathroom stall door, and I will consider caring about your opinion on Colson Whitehead's work!!!! 😂
What a racist comment at 3:16
It's funny how he talks about what his parents said about white people, and yet he married one.
@Carmela Szymanski Where is what stated?
MsBamafanatic
Evidently, he doesn't stereotype.
@@carolynbrown3379 Sure he does.
Why is that funny? That was his parent's story. They could only pass down their truths to him. He had to go forward and make his own. To he quite honest, I was surprised to learn it was a woman he was married to.....
Nine months later, your comment is still interesting and about something important. Maybe he grew past his parents' pain ... maybe a white person rose above her history. Either way, best to the whole family.
Likely the Alfred G. Dozer School was a Democrat operated facility
