I just started Underground Railroad and I love Whitehead’s prose so far. This hasn’t felt like a strong year for literature.
I liked Underground Airlines...it was one of those books where I finished it and wanted more from the same universe. I think Whitehead did a phenomenal job at shaping not only the story itself but a fully formed and scarily realistic world.
