Food for Thought: Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead (January 9 *new location* Noble Creature)

Updated: Dec 18, 2024



Join us for Lit Youngstown's Food for Thought book discussion, sponsored by the Raymond J. Wean Foundation. We meet each month Sept.-May, at 5:30pm on the 2nd Thursday at Noble Creature, 126 E. Rayen. Haven't read the book yet? No worries.


The January title is Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead. This book is available at the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, and POP! Arts, Book, Culture via Bookshop.


"Harlem Shuffle’s ingenious story plays out in a beautifully recreated New York City of the early 1960s. It’s a family saga masquerading as a crime novel, a hilarious morality play, a social novel about race and power, and ultimately a love letter to Harlem. But mostly, it’s a joy to read, another dazzling novel from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning Colson Whitehead."
