Stated First Edition, 1st printing. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize & National Book Award. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. Signed by Colson Whitehead on publisher's tipped-in page. A New York Times Best Book (#7) of the 21st Century: "THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD is a profound revelation of the intricate aspects of slavery and nebulous shapes of freedom featuring an indomitable female protagonist: Cora from Georgia. The novel seamlessly combines history, horror and fantasy with philosophical speculation and cultural criticism to tell a compulsively readable, terror-laden narrative of a girl with a fierce inner spark who follows the mysterious path of her mother, Mabel, the only person ever known to have escaped from the Randall plantation. [] I could hardly make it through this plaintively brutal novel. Neither could I put it down. THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD bleeds truth in a way that few treatments of slavery can, fiction or nonfiction. Whitehead's portrayals of human motivation, interaction and emotional range astonish in their complexity. Here brutality is bone deep and vulnerability is ocean wide, yet bravery and hope shine through in Cora's insistence on escape. I rooted for Cora in a way that I never had for a character, my heart breaking with each violation of her spirit. Just as Cora inherits her mother's symbolic victory garden, we readers of Whitehead's imaginary world can inherit Cora's courage."--Tiya Miles. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket with just a 'Signed First Edition' gold medallion next to Colson on the cover, no other markings, all covered in archival mylar. Quite presentable & collectible.
