Two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Colson Whitehead discusses what inspires him to write with Kim Hill.

Whitehead’s best-selling novels The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys address racial injustice with what has been described as ‘lived wit’. His most recent novel Harlem Shuffle is a crime-heist set in the civil rights era, the first in a trilogy.
