Colson Whitehead is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Underground Railroad, winner of the 2016 National Book Award, and named one of the Ten Best Books of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, as well as The Noble Hustle, Zone One, Sag Harbor, The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, Apex Hides the Hurt, and The Colossus of New York. He is also a Pulitzer Prize finalist and a recipient of the MacArthur and Guggenheim fellowships. He lives in New York City.
Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hellish for all slaves, but Cora is an outcast even among her fellow Africans, and she is coming into womanhood; even greater pain awaits. Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her of the Underground Railroad and they plot their escape. Like Gulliver, Cora encounters different worlds on each leg of her journey.
Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors of black life in pre-Civil War America. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

評論裏看見很多忿忿不平,集中錶現在此書同主題著作已太多而角度不夠新。對我而言,此書卻恰恰讓我麵對“常識”的時候,對某種彆人的苦難有瞭新的想象力。
評分原來原版就這個樣子, 不要再怪罪文景的翻譯瞭
評分腦洞開得讓人難受 "THIS NATION SHOULDN' T EXSIT, IF THERE' S ANY JUSTICE IN THE WORLD, FOR ITS FOUNDATIONS ARE MURDER, THEFT, AND CRUELTY. YET HERE WE ARE."
評分逃跑風險大,不跑永遠有風險。
評分不信即是信仰
