Note(s) : E-journalist J. Sutter travels to West Virginia for the first John Henry Days celebration
; Colson Whitehead's eagerly awaited and triumphantly acclaimed new novel is on one
level a multifaceted retelling of the story of John Henry, the black steel-driver
who died outracing a machine designed to replace him. On another level it's the story
of a disaffected, middle-aged black journalist on a mission to set a record for junketeering
who attends the annual John Henry Days festival. It is also a high-velocity thrill
ride through the tunnel where American legend gives way to American pop culture, replete
with p. r. flacks, stamp collectors, blues men, and turn-of-the-century song pluggers.
John Henry Days is an acrobatic, intellectually dazzling, and laugh-out-loud funny
book that will be read and talked about for years to come
