Crook Manifesto – Did Not Finish
Start of a bad streak with Colson Whitehead, unfortunately.
I 5-starred The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys, but I was deeply unsatisfied with Harlem Shuffle. I hoped Crook Manifesto would be better—especially since its ratings seemed slightly higher—but it turned out to be the same fast-paced, confused nothingness.
I just can't listen to hours of something that doesn’t interest me at all. I’m definitely waiting for better work from this author.
