解説
Colson Whitehead Beyond the Novel: Literary Authority, Authorial Performance, and Canonization traces this author's remarkable trajectory from an acclaimed yet little-known writer to cultural force, examining the workings of contemporary literary authority.
By 2026, Whitehead is a household name: his novels have attained a large readership, are enshrined within the literary canon, and have been adapted for the screen. From his debut novel The Intuitionist (1999) to his Pulitzer-winning works The Underground Railroad (2016) and The Nickel Boys (2019), this study explores how Whitehead claims and negotiates various forms of authorship throughout his career.
Understanding literary authorship as embedded within legitimizing institutions, the book analyzes Whitehead's first seven novels alongside his
positioning in interviews, their reception by professional critics and prize juries, as well as their circulation across different cultural contexts, such as
Oprah's Book Club and as screen adaptations. It offers an in-depth exploration of Whitehead's career as a literary author and explores how racial
categorization operates within the US literary field.
