Colson Whitehead transforms ‘the Underground Railroad’—the nickname for the network of safe houses used by fugitive slaves escaping the American South—into a very real rail system in this stunning work of speculative fiction. Since publication in 2016, it was an international bestseller, garnered praise from (among others) Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey, and won a number of major literary prizes.
