《地下鐵路》作者Colson Whitehead獻給美國哈林區的情書。Ray是個勤奮的家具銷售員,擁有美滿的家庭,但艱苦的生活讓他不得已參與搶劫、倒賣贓物,從此開始過著雙面人生。From two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author Colson Whitehead, a gloriously entertaining novel of heists, shakedowns, and rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s."Ray Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked . . ."To his customers and neighbors on 125th street, Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture, making a decent life for himself and his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child, and if her parents on Striver's Row don't approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks, it's still home.
