Colson Whitehead imbues his starkly original, genre-bending, noir-inflected debut novel with intelligence, imagination and humour. Set in the strange world of elevator inspection, The Intuitionist presents a parallel universe where matters of morality, politics and race disclose surprising ironies. It’s a love story like no other, for Lila Mae Watson is in love with no man but with stone and steel, with the machinery and architecture of the city. | The Intuitionist by Colson Whitehead, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
