Intuiționista
Colson Whitehead, al carui roman Ruta subterana, incununat cu Pulitzer Prize, e tradus in peste 40 de tari, a avut un debut fulminant, ingenios si de o originalitate izbitoare. Romanul Intuitionista a aparut in 1999 si a fost comparat cu Catch-22 de Joseph Heller, V de Thomas Pynchon si Ochiul cel mai albastru de Toni Morrison. A primit Quality Paperback Book Club New Voices Award si a fost finalist la PEN/Hemingway Award. Provocator, de un umor subversiv livrat cu maxima gravitate, Intuitionista ii are ca protagonisti pe inspectorii de ascensoare dintr-un oras american semanand cu New Yorkul, intr-o perioada nedefinita. Alegorie a rasei, a societatii moderne, sau pur si simplu a naturii umane, cartea jongleaza cu procedee stilistice si structurale ale romanului noir, ale genului detectivistic, ale criticii sociale naturaliste, chiar ale distopiei. Whitehead creeaza o lume perfect credibila pornind de la elemente aparent neverosimile, un fel de labirint borgesian in care straluceste Lila Mae Watson, una dintre cele mai fascinante eroine din fictiunea contemporana.
