Summary
From the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys， a gloriously entertaining novel of heists， shakedowns， and rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s。
“Ray Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked…” To his customers and neighbors on 125th street， Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture， making a decent life for himself and his family。 He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child， and if her parents on Striver’s Row don’t approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks， it’s still home。
Few people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks， and that his façade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it。 Cracks that are getting bigger all the time。
Cash is tight， especially with all those installment-plan sofas， so if his cousin Freddie occasionally drops off the odd ring or necklace， Ray doesn’t ask where it comes from。 He knows a discreet jeweler downtown who doesn’t ask questions， either。
Then Freddie falls in with a crew who plan to rob the Hotel Theresa—the “Waldorf of Harlem”—and volunteers Ray’s services as the fence。 The heist doesn’t go as planned; they rarely do。 Now Ray has a new clientele， one made up of shady cops， vicious local gangsters， two-bit pornographers， and other assorted Harlem lowlifes。
Thus begins the internal tussle between Ray the striver and Ray the crook。 As Ray navigates this double life， he begins to see who actually pulls the strings in Harlem。 Can Ray avoid getting killed， save his cousin， and grab his share of the big score， all while maintaining his reputation as the go-to source for all your quality home furniture needs？
Harlem Shuffle’s ingenious story plays out in a beautifully recreated New York City of the early 1960s。 It’s a family saga masquerading as a crime novel， a hilarious morality play， a social novel about race and power， and ultimately a love letter to Harlem。
But mostly， it’s a joy to read， another dazzling novel from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning Colson Whitehead。

It took me a couple of attempts and 2 chapters to really get into this book。 But once I did I absolutely loved it and couldn't put it down。 If you are in the same boat don't give up， it's worth it。 It took me a couple of attempts and 2 chapters to really get into this book。 But once I did I absolutely loved it and couldn't put it down。 If you are in the same boat don't give up， it's worth it。 。。。more

Gorgeously layered language that had me rereading passages。I found myself digesting single words simply to feel my tongue rolling around them。 Funny and tragic， another homerun from Whitehead。

This would have been a five for the prose which was great， even moving。 It transported me to the streets of Harlem and peek at its landmarks through the decades。 But I found the plot a little too light and inconsequential。 Whenever the pace picked up I held my breath hoping it would sustain， but the action was over quickly。 I feel like I had a glimpse into the characters but I don’t fully know them and I want to because they are super interesting。 Can’t wait for Crooks Manifesto！！

Man， Colson Whitebead can paint a picture with words。 So evocative and descriptive， often times I could just picture it。This book is one that does something very well， and that is convey time passing。 Granted， the time is over about five years but it still has people growing and changing。 Ray Carney sells furniture but thats only part of what he does， acting as a reputable middleman for people who need to move things。 TVs？ Watches？ Radios？ Necklaces？ Ray will know a guy。This book reads as two th Man， Colson Whitebead can paint a picture with words。 So evocative and descriptive， often times I could just picture it。This book is one that does something very well， and that is convey time passing。 Granted， the time is over about five years but it still has people growing and changing。 Ray Carney sells furniture but thats only part of what he does， acting as a reputable middleman for people who need to move things。 TVs？ Watches？ Radios？ Necklaces？ Ray will know a guy。This book reads as two things- almost as a retelling of a coming of age story， under ones fathers shadow and how do you become your own man？I also got massive The Pearl vives， where our characters are pushing and striving for something， possibly a MacGuffin and all of a sudden it's gone。 Scores are plotted， settled， changed and warped all in the space of a few months。 Additionally， a love letter to turn of the midcentury New York， where Pan Am had just put up a building， and where ground for the World Trade Center had just been broken， where Radio Row was a power house just 4 years before and then unceremoniously torn down。 The book felt unfinished in the way that life is- while the story may be concluded， life goes on， with that story becoming a memory。 。。。more

For me this book was vivid in historical imagery， conspicuous in metaphor， heavily poetic， sometimes funny， never really captivating， but interesting enough to see through to the end。 It was my first Colson Whitehead book， so I’m curious to read some of his other novels and see how they compare。

Whitehead is a phenomenal writer。 There's many turns of phrases and meditations on class， or society， that I found myself highlighting。 This novel is a beautiful depiction of Harlem during the civil rights era。 However， the structure， pacing， and character development all contributed to me not being very emotionally invested in what is supposed to be a brutal ending。 The three part structure felt very disjointed， and it's not just due to the time jumps。 While the climax does happen， it doesn't f Whitehead is a phenomenal writer。 There's many turns of phrases and meditations on class， or society， that I found myself highlighting。 This novel is a beautiful depiction of Harlem during the civil rights era。 However， the structure， pacing， and character development all contributed to me not being very emotionally invested in what is supposed to be a brutal ending。 The three part structure felt very disjointed， and it's not just due to the time jumps。 While the climax does happen， it doesn't feel like we have been building toward it and that emotional stakes were laid down。 It feels like， we are meandering through side characters and other descriptions until we stumble upon it。 I wonder how the book would have been if it was centered around the last act — the Harlem riots of 1964 — and the rest of the back story of Carney and previous heists were told in flashback。 I wonder how I would have felt about the many side characters if they just had more dialogue or chances to express their feelings。 I don't think this put me off to Whitehead overall though。 。。。more

An exciting heist with a rich backdrop of 1950/1960s Harlem culture。 Great questions about what is right / wrong。 Ray the main character was perfection。

I could really appreciate the rich prose and characterisation and could picture and almost feel the Harlem of this period through the pages， but I did find it quite a struggle to get through， the storyline moved around a lot and often went off on very long and detailed tangents which I ended up skimming through

There are three sections that take place a few years apart and they're written like they were published as separate books published years apart。 That took something away from the overall story for me。 It was a vibrant book， one filled with great characters， and leaned into the social issues of the 60s。 It had great turns-of-phrase a-plenty。 The plot was the weak part for me。 Because the three sections took place years apart， there wasn’t a chance to really let the plot breath。 But let’s not end There are three sections that take place a few years apart and they're written like they were published as separate books published years apart。 That took something away from the overall story for me。 It was a vibrant book， one filled with great characters， and leaned into the social issues of the 60s。 It had great turns-of-phrase a-plenty。 The plot was the weak part for me。 Because the three sections took place years apart， there wasn’t a chance to really let the plot breath。 But let’s not end on a bummer。 Here are some great quotes: "Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked…" （31）Research Seneca Village。 Was it really a black community that was seized by eminent domain to make Central Park？ （68）"The night of the earthquake he thought the Devil was reaching up to claim him， but then he remembered he didn't believe in the Devil or those above， and he went back to sleep。" Pepper （74）"Carney didn't go to church。 Blasphemers on one side of the family， skeptics on the other， and both sides liked to sleep in。" （152） 。。。more

however， Whitehead points to balance with Elizabeth as a working woman who still cooks a mean pot roast。 And in order to obtain the apartment on Riverside drive， she has to work。 Carney’s furniture is not enough to land the family on the Strivers Row of Elizabeth’s youth。 Somehow Ray finds himself embroiled in his cousin Freddie’s nefarious dealings with crooks， druggies， and the mob。 Ray acts as fence for stolen goods big and small and gets pulled into Freddie’s world of crookery。 Yet the fencing allows him to save for that elusive apartment， while the extra money leads him to membership in the Dumas Club for Harlem’s elite。 Ray even enlists his father’s old partner Pepper to help on heists and other tricky jobs while he struggles to keep the legal and illegal halves of his life separate。 Freddie is a brother to Ray yet even with Pepper’s help it may not be enough to keep the family safe。 Whitehead created a character in Ray Carney who held my interest enough that I will want to return for the rest of the trilogy。 He is a family man who will do anything it takes to do good by his family， even if the means to justify the ends are questionable。 I can see here why Whitehead is considered a top author， even though I enjoyed this novel more than his award winning ones， as I said he is hit or miss for me。 And thus concludes my African American history month reading for this year。 I noticed that most of my reading took place in Harlem， real or fictional and touched on the same themes of police violence toward African Americans that are still a hit button issue in society。 Perhaps the authors I read this month can write a how to pamphlet for America’s police forces in terms of engaging suspected criminals。 All the writing I read this month was top notch and perhaps their words can lead this nation closer toward being color blind。 We can only hope。 4 stars 。。。more

Excellent noir or noirish novel。 Definitionally （strictly speaking） the novel is probably more hopeful and open ended than your traditional noir。 But it isn't that hopeful。 More like two steps forward one step back kind of story。 It's a crime novel all the way。 Arguably it's more like a collection of three novellas about a young， hard-working owner of a furniture store in Harlem named Ray Carney。 The time period spans the late-fifties to the early 60s。 Ray has a degree， and an eye for achieving Excellent noir or noirish novel。 Definitionally （strictly speaking） the novel is probably more hopeful and open ended than your traditional noir。 But it isn't that hopeful。 More like two steps forward one step back kind of story。 It's a crime novel all the way。 Arguably it's more like a collection of three novellas about a young， hard-working owner of a furniture store in Harlem named Ray Carney。 The time period spans the late-fifties to the early 60s。 Ray has a degree， and an eye for achieving the American Dream （whatever that means） despite the difficult physical and social landscape。 Racism， like speed bumps， is or course everywhere， but so are the winds of change。 But Ray has a foot in two worlds。 He operates as a sometimes fence for stolen goods， which helps to soften the financial margins he faces。 He also has a brother-like trouble-prone cousin who too often pulls a reluctant Ray further toward the deep end of the criminal pool than Ray feels comfortable with。 But there are ties that bind。 "Harlem Shuffle" is the first volume in a projected series centering on Ray Carney。 In this volume the three novellas or chapters each center on a specific caper。 All these stories are filled with memorable and recurring characters （especially the criminals） and sharp writing。 The book is also filled with Jetson-like furniture that I actually remember seeing growing up。 That endeared me to the novel right away， and left me impressed with Whitehead's research， which also extends to a changing Harlem itself。 "Harlem Shuffle" is a crime novel， but it's much more than that。 It's also a chronicle on a changing America。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

I'll admit， I picked up this book due to its sweet cover design。 Seeing that Colson had won some serious hardware and digging the plot synopsis， I grabbed it。 It was fantastic。Set over 3 hot summers in Harlem in the early 60s， this book vividly transports you to a world where you have to be a little bent to get by in a system that is broken， and sometimes you have no choice but to be crooked to survive。 A great slice of history and a time we only hear the whitewashed version and perspective of。H I'll admit， I picked up this book due to its sweet cover design。 Seeing that Colson had won some serious hardware and digging the plot synopsis， I grabbed it。 It was fantastic。Set over 3 hot summers in Harlem in the early 60s， this book vividly transports you to a world where you have to be a little bent to get by in a system that is broken， and sometimes you have no choice but to be crooked to survive。 A great slice of history and a time we only hear the whitewashed version and perspective of。Highly recommended。 。。。more

Ray Carney is stuck between two worlds - that of his father， a Harlem hood with connections to organised crime， and the life with his wife and family as an up and coming African American business man。 Set in the 1960s， the book has some similarities for novels like Gil Scott Heron's "The Vulture" but has an element of sophistication which comes with wiring experience。 It is a gripping and engaging story， with believable characters and descriptions of place。 Worth a look。 Ray Carney is stuck between two worlds - that of his father， a Harlem hood with connections to organised crime， and the life with his wife and family as an up and coming African American business man。 Set in the 1960s， the book has some similarities for novels like Gil Scott Heron's "The Vulture" but has an element of sophistication which comes with wiring experience。 It is a gripping and engaging story， with believable characters and descriptions of place。 Worth a look。 。。。more

Set in Harlem in the 1950s and 60s， this reads a bit like an Elmore Leonard novel， but better， as I was actually mostly able to follow the action。 A sympathetic furniture dealer enters into some criminal side fencing， and later undertakes an elaborate crime to take down a prominent Harlem social figure who snubs him。
