    Hi, Colson and fans. It is soon Black History Month here in the UK. For this occasion, our not-for-profit magazine will be reading your novel, "The Underground Railroad." We already have a video announcing that.

      The Underground Railroad, by Colson Whitehead." I hope you all can support the channel by watching, sharing,

    Perhaps...his short note work..The Colossus of New York was, and remains his best work...a sequence of concise "selective works" which, and by which he flexes his perspectives upon various, disparate elements of his adopted city. His novels - I don't struggle with - I think he does. His Prominence, is actually a complex difficulty to transpose between his "issue writing...his audience...and his profile.."
    Some can be sprawling, some can be misdirected, some downright inarticulate...yet all remain in the consciousness after reading....there will come a period of reflection upon his work - because it is necessary, and he is necessary....to actually distinguish between all the various facets of "assumed persona" and "literary merit".
    Somehow...he is the only one who can articulate his intent and contributions deflecting away from the momentum driving him into a "career writer" rather than (as I mention with Colossus...)..a writer bordering and borderline distinction. Playing up to, and playing for an audience is a trap. I have sufficient faith, personally, in his ability to write significant work. So does he....it's at the moment, well within his capacities to seize his writing from the market reach and strike one for himself...

    Seems like a nice guy. His writing is fairly pedestrian though.

      Any recommendations on good writers in his genre, modern ones I mean?

    You need to dumb down your books or not make it so overly detailed with complicated references and words. I'm really trying to follow along, but I am struggling to.

      Should he dumb it down or you step it up? LOL, I used to read and when I didn't know a word mark it down and look it up in the dictionary later. You got a supercomputer sitting in your pocket like everybody else all day, everyday now. You can't look up the reference on Google so that you now get what he's talking about?
