5. Bold Type: Colson Whitehead
"In the Intuitionist, colson whitehead has written an utterly original novel."Category Arts Literature Authors W whitehead, colson...... colson whitehead has written an utterly original novel, and in Lila Mae Watsonhe has created one of the most endearing heroines in quite some time.
http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/1298/whitehead/
Meet Lila Mae Watson, inspector par excellence in a major metropolitan city's Department of Elevator Inspectors. The first black female inspector in the department's history, she has its highest accuracy rate. Lila Mae is an Intuitionist, and she is never wrong.
The Intuitionists, swamis of elevator inspection, feel the elevator. The Empiricists, on the other hand, go by the book, and naturally, they are deeply suspicious of Intuitionist methodology. So when an elevator crashes on Lila Mae's watch, chaos ensues. Sabotage is the obvious explanation: it's an election year in the Elevator Guild, and the good-old-boy Empiricists would love nothing more than to assign the blame to an Intuitionist.
As Lila Mae tries to uncover the truth, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue. The sudden appearance of excerpts from the lost notebooks of Intuitionism's founder, James Fulton, has caused quite a stir. The notebooks describe Fulton's work on the "black box," a perfect elevator that could reinvent the city as radically as the first passenger elevator did when patented by Elisha Otis in the nineteenth century. Lila Mae becomes involved in the search for the notebooks and discovers a secret that will change her life forever.
Colson Whitehead has written an utterly original novel, and in Lila Mae Watson he has created one of the most endearing heroines in quite some time. Marked by lithe prose and a stylish urban vision, Whitehead offers a thoroughly engaging meditation on race. A dead-serious and seriously funny feat of the imagination

The Intuitionist by Colson Whitehead
A Review by Marlene Stevens
The Intuitionist A Review by Marlene Stevens This novel could be linked to White Queen in a few ways. Both main female characters are tough, operate by their own set of rules, and are members of a minority race. They are very independent, although they use other people to help them achieve their goals. The only difference in their approach was that Braemar was so heartless about it, while Lila Mae never promised anything or expected much in return. Both novels go into a lot of technological detail. In White Queen, we are bombarded with information about alien reproduction, faster than light travel, and computer systems. In The Intuitionist, we learn more about elevators and elevator theory than possibly necessary. Telepathy is explored in both novels as well. Lila Mae diagnoses elevator problems by a kind of telepathy- she senses what is wrong rather than by direct observation. "…She can almost see them now. This elevator’s vibrations are resolving themselves in her mind as an aqua-blue cone…The elevator moves upward in the well, toward the grunting in the machine room, and Lila Mae turns that into a picture, too. The ascension is a red spike circling around the blue cone…She knows what it is…No need to continue." The power of telepathy the Aleutians use in White Queen is also used to communicate with machines. They are able to take over machines and make them do their bidding, as described on page 135, when machines in England and Pakistan turned on the people around them.

Walter Mosley Meets Colson Whitehead
Lured by the dual promises of a midday meal at a famous Brooklyn eatery and the opportunity to meet an admired colleague, Colson Whitehead and Walter Mosley accepted an invitation from BOOK to dine at Junior’s Restaurant a couple of months before Whitehead’s second novel, John Henry Days , a rumination on the legendary black folk hero, was released.
This is an archived page. Click to return to the current issue
The Intuitionist This is their first meeting, though the two have been paying attention to each other for years. Mosley made a strong impression with his first book, 1990’s Devil in a Blue Dress The Intuitionist was published two years ago; Fearless Jones has been eagerly anticipated. The two shared opinions on topics ranging from Ralph Ellison to Spider-Man. And Gina Gershon got name-checked as well.
MOSLEY Why is John Henry important to you?
WHITEHEAD I guess I just always really dug him, in elementary school.
MOSLEY Me too.
WHITEHEAD
MOSLEY How did you feel about him losing to that machine? Because that made me cry.

http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0501/whitehead/
The original John Henry story is one of almost Norse fatalism: an ambidextrous giant narrowly defeats a steam drill in a contest to drive steel through a mountain, to make way for a railroad. He subsequently dies of an exploded heart. John Henry Days is full of human embodiments of this theme, people pursuing symbolic victories for their own obscure reasons, even at significant personal risk. The novel is haunted by charactersobsessed collectors of paraphernalia, compulsive freeloading journalists, and the steel-drivin man himself, John Henrycaptivated, and finally summoned overboard, by the siren's call of professional destiny. Sacrifice in the name of Progress, Prosperity, Technology, is not an uncommon theme in our great American stories. Witness The Alamo, or the Horatio Alger oeuvre. But John Henry's story is a dark departure from these. If John Henry were at the Alamo, his death would augur prosperity for future generations of his countrymen, rather than the end of a way of life for himself and thousands of his fellows. Were he the hero in a Horatio Alger tale, his diligence would be rewarded with wealth and greater freedom, rather than an exhausted death in a tunnel. But he is not, and it does not. From the moment he is born, John Henry marches in steady rhythm towards his sealed fate, becoming in some respects more machine-like than the Burleigh steam drill that kills him. This sense of unavoidable destiny holds Colson Whitehead's rangy narrative under its spell, unifying fragments (better, filaments) of diverse chronology and perspective around a single publicity-event-turned-catastrophe: the inauguration of the

Post Office To Unveil Colson Whitehead Stamp
Dave Weich
, Powells.com Talcott, West Virginia, is the site of the first annual John Henry Days festival, celebrating the U. S. Postal Service's new Folk Heroes stamp series, among whose four figures is none other than John Henry, the nineteenth century black laborer reputed to have defeated a steam engine in a steel-driving contest here only to die from exhaustion before he could celebrate the victory. J. Sutter, junketeer extraordinaire, has come to cover the event for a new travel web site. Jaded, road-weary, and hyperconscious of his race among hillside Confederate flags, J.'s weekend adventure supplies the primary forward track of Colson Whitehead's second novel, as well as a platform from which to satirize the American media's servitude to capitalist enterprise and the public's eagerness to swallow its pitches whole.
