About this event
Join two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead as he discusses his new novel „Cool Machine”, the conclusion of his acclaimed Harlem trilogy. Set in 1980s New York during the Reagan years, the book follows Ray Carney, a former fence who has built a respectable life as a furniture salesman, until he is drawn into a risky heist at the Waldorf Astoria. The evening blends reading and conversation in both English and German, offering a rare chance to explore Whitehead’s world, his sharp social commentary, and the novel’s gripping fusion of crime and moral reckoning.
