Product Information

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER * NATIONAL BESTSELLER * This follow-up to The Underground Railroad brilliantly dramatizes another strand of American history through the story of two boys unjustly sentenced to a hellish reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida. * "One of the most gifted novelists in America today." --NPR When Elwood Curtis, a black boy growing up in 1960s Tallahassee, is unfairly sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called the Nickel Academy, he finds himself trapped in a grotesque chamber of horrors. Elwood's only salvation is his friendship with fellow "delinquent" Turner, which deepens despite Turner's conviction that Elwood is hopelessly naive, that the world is crooked, and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble. As life at the Academy becomes ever more perilous, the tension between Elwood's ideals and Turner's skepticism leads to a decision whose repercussions will echo down the decades. Based on the real story of a reform school that operated for 111 years and warped the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative that showcases a great American novelist writing at the height of his powers and "should further cement Whitehead as one of his generation's best" (Entertainment Weekly). Look for Colson Whitehead's new novel, Crook Manifesto !

Reviews
" Haunting and haunted ... devastating. ..The book feels like a mission, and it's an essential one...he pulls off a brilliant sleight of hand that elevates the mere act of resurrecting Elwood's buried story into at once a miracle and a tragedy."--Frank Rich, The New York Times Book Review (cover) " Stellar ... heartbreaking ...a beautiful, unforgettable young hero who walks right off the page and into your heart...If you have been thinking you should read Colson Whitehead, The Nickel Boys is the perfect place to start."- Newsday "A book that will further cement his place in the pantheon of influential American writers." -- Time Magazine " The Nickel Boys is a chilling, masterful novel that explores the depths of evil and the resilience of the human spirit. Whitehead's prose is dazzling, and the narrative's nimble twist is a swift kick to the solar plexus."-- The Minneapolis Star-Tribune " Propulsive and gorgeous and completely devastating."--LitHub.com "THE NICKEL BOYS is in conversation with works by James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison and especially Martin Luther King.... It shreds our easy confidence in the triumph of goodness and leaves in its place a hard and bitter truth about the ongoing American experiment." -- Ron Charles , The Washington Post "A tense, nervy performance, even more rigorously controlled than its predecessor. The narration is disciplined and the sentences plain and sturdy, oars cutting into the water. Every chapter hits its marks."-- Parul Seghal, The New York Times " The Nickel Boys often feels like Whitehead's conversation with both the idealistic forerunners of the civil rights generation and...the woke youth of today."--Laura Miller, Slate.com "Not a moment is wasted, and for someone who writes as vividly as Whitehead, there's also a graceful economy here. He uses words carefully, as if he doesn't want them to get in the way of the truth he's excavating."- Boston Globe, "The acclaimed author of The Underground Railroad follows up with a leaner, meaner saga of Deep South captivity set in the mid-20th century and fraught with horrors more chilling for being based on true-life atrocities.There's something a tad more melodramatic in this book's conception (and resolution) than one expects from Whitehead, giving it a drugstore-paperback glossiness that enhances its blunt-edged impact." - Kirkus Review "Whitehead follows his dynamic, highly awarded, best-selling Civil War saga, The Underground Railroad , with a tautly focused and gripping portrait of two African American teens during the last vicious years of Jim Crow. . . Whitehead's magnetic characters exemplify stoicism and courage, and each supremely crafted scene smolders and flares with injustice and resistance, building to a staggering revelation." - Booklist Online "Whitehead's brilliant examination of America's history of violence is a stunning novel of impeccable language and startling insight." - Publishers Weekly, "The acclaimed author of The Underground Railroad follows up with a leaner, meaner saga of Deep South captivity set in the mid-20th century and fraught with horrors more chilling for being based on true-life atrocities.There's something a tad more melodramatic in this book's conception (and resolution) than one expects from Whitehead, giving it a drugstore-paperback glossiness that enhances its blunt-edged impact." - Kirkus Review "Whitehead follows his dynamic, highly awarded, best-selling Civil War saga, The Underground Railroad , with a tautly focused and gripping portrait of two African American teens during the last vicious years of Jim Crow. . .

Whitehead is one of the most daring and gifted authors writing these days, and I will never miss one of his books." - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls, " Haunting and haunted ... devastating. ..The book feels like a mission, and it's an essential one...he pulls off a brilliant sleight of hand that elevates the mere act of resurrecting Elwood's buried story into at once a miracle and a tragedy."--Frank Rich, The New York Times Book Review (cover) " Stellar ... heartbreaking ...a beautiful, unforgettable young hero who walks right off the page and into your heart...If you have been thinking you should read Colson Whitehead, The Nickel Boys is the perfect place to start."- Newsday " America's Storyteller.

  • Excellent Book

    Colon Whitehead's "Nickel Boys" is a very moving fictional story about the boys detention center and the abuse that took place there. Although, fictional it brings to light the cruel reality of life at this real life horror show in Mariana, Florida. Excellent must read.
