Nas ruas de Sag Harbor – Um romance de formação sobre raça, classe e masculinidade do vencedor do Prêmio Pulitzer (Portuguese Edition)

By Colson Whitehead

About This Book

Colson Whitehead returns with a striking and unfiltered novel that delves into America's deep wounds of inequality and injustice, all while celebrating the vibrant spirit of Harlem. Following Ray Carney, a furniture salesman with a hidden legacy of crime, the story unfolds in a milieu rife with corruption as Ray navigates the treacherous waters of duality and deception.

As Ray becomes entangled in his cousin Freddie's underhanded schemes, he grapples with the harsh reality of his choices and the looming threats from corrupt police and ruthless criminals. The backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement in the turbulent 1960s adds to the gravity of his journey, where every decision could lead to peril or redemption, forcing Ray to confront the true puppeteers of his fate.

A compelling reflection on race and power, this novel not only captivates with its adrenaline-fueled narrative but also resonates with the ongoing conversation around social justice. With accolades from esteemed critics, Whitehead demonstrates once again why he is hailed as a master of his craft, pushing the boundaries of literary and cultural expression.
