Show Notes

With his mesmerizing and versatile voice, Dion Graham masterfully narrates Colson Whitehead’s second audiobook featuring reformed criminal Ray Carney. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss this trio of stories about Harlem and how Graham brings them to life. He perfectly complements Whitehead’s intricate and beautifully written portrayal of 1970s Harlem. Carney, a landlord, proud furniture store owner, and family man, is reluctantly drawn back into the criminal underworld by a violent and corrupt police detective.
