Recognised as one of the novels of 2001, it establishes Colson Whitehead as one of the pre-eminent young American writers of our time. Building the railways that made America, John Henry died with a hammer in his hand moments after competing against a steam drill in a battle of endurance. The story of his death made him a legend. Over a century later, J. Sutter, a freelance journalist and accomplished expense account abuser, is sent to West Virginia to cover the launch of a new postage stamp at the first 'John Henry Days' festival. John Henry Days is a riveting portrait of America. Through a patchwork of interweaving histories Colson Whitehead triumphantly reveals how a nation creates its present through the stories it tells of its past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MixGD","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45091507962007,"sku":"9781841155708","price":967.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781841155708.webp?v=1769204563","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/john-henry-days-9781841155708","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
