DESCRIPTION:Kicking off our third season of Illinois Libraries Presents, w
 e are thrilled to welcome two-time Pulitzer Prize winning author Colson Wh
 itehead to our Illinois libraries. The #1 New York Times bestselling autho
 r of The Underground Railroad, The Nickel Boys, Harlem Shuffle, The Noble 
 Hustle, Zone One, Sag Harbor, The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, Apex Hide
 s the Hurt, and a collection of essays, Whitehead is only the fourth write
 r to win two Pulitzers in the Fiction category (for Underground Railroad i
 n 2018 and The Nickel Boys in 2020). His highly anticipated latest, Crook 
 Manifesto, is a darkly funny tale of a city under siege, but also a sneaki
 ly searching portrait of the meaning of family. His reviews, essays, and f
 iction have appeared in the New York Times, The New Yorker, New York Magaz
 ine, Harper’s and Granta. Whitehead has received a MacArthur Fellowship 
 and Guggenheim Fellowship and the Library of Congress Prize for American F
 iction, among others. In 2023, President Biden awarded Whitehead a Nationa
 l Endowment for the Humanities Medal. He has taught extensively, including
  at Columbia University, Princeton University, and Brooklyn College, and h
 as been a Writer-in-Residence at Vassar College, the University of Richmon
 d, and University of Wyoming. He lives in New York City.\r\n \r\nThis eve
 nt is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present, a statewide collaborati
 on among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part b
 y a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a department of the Offic
 e of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Mus
 eum and Library Services, under the provisions of the Library Services and
  Technology Act (LSTA). ILP is committed to inclusion and accessibility.\r
