There's the New York we see. The streets and neighborhoods, townhouses and office buildings, stoops and bodegas. That's a damn good city, electric and irrepressible, but there's another place just beyond that surface and it's populated by our ambitions. A city of nighthawks and hustlers. Around every corner, a new scheme. That's the heady undergirding of Colson Whitehead's newest novel, Harlem Shuffle (Doubleday, 2021).
