Two-time Pulitzer prize-winner Colson Whitehead's Crook Manifesto is a powerful and darkly funny blend of crime novel and historical fiction. PICTURE: SEAN GALLUP/GETTY IMAGES. The two-time Pulitzer prize-winner is regarded as a master of contemporary literature due to his exceptional talent, unique storytelling approach, profound exploration of important themes, and ability to tackle diverse subjects, including historical fiction, speculative fiction and social commentary.
He reconnects with Munson, a corrupt NYPD officer and fixer. Munson offers Carney free concert tickets in exchange for fencing stolen jewellery. The supposedly simple job spirals into a nightmarish ordeal as Carney becomes entangled in Munson’s violent and chaotic crime spree. He gets beaten, robbed and coerced into becoming Munson’s reluctant partner.
Throughout this story of a crumbling city under siege, Whitehead richly portrays a cast of hustlers, from thieves and seedy showbiz types to ruthless killers and corrupt politicians. It’s a powerful and darkly funny blend of crime novel and historical fiction., a darkly comedic Western that subverted the genre and earned him widespread acclaim. With his astute understanding of human nature, DeWitt’s writing is a unique blend of humour, melancholy, and profound insight.
