About the book
A novel by Colson Whitehead that follows two teenagers in 1960s Florida committed to a reform school for boys that is, in fact, a place of abuse, corruption and death. The narrative alternates perspectives and timelines, gradually revealing the fate of its protagonists and the institutional horror that binds them.
A visceral exploration of racial injustice, systemic violence and redemption, inspired by real events and marked by the powerful prose that characterizes Whitehead's work.
