«Whitehead se est? convirtiendo r?pidamente en el Dickensde la vida de los afroamericanos estadounidenses . -Johanna Thomas-Corr, The Times
El doble ganador del Pulitzer contin?a entonando su himno a Harlem, en todo suesplendor y miseria, y recreando el paisaje criminal del agitado Nueva York de la d?cada de 1970. Comienza la d?cada de los setenta y la ciudad de Nueva York parece m?s sucia y peligrosa que nunca. Mientras en las calles de Harlem estalla una guerra abierta entre el Ej?rcito Negro de Liberaci?n y la polic?a estatal, Ray Carney, al frente de su pr?spera tienda de muebles, intenta mantenerse alejado de los negocios turbios y ser un honrado padre de familia. Pero no es sencillo dejar atr?s un pasado entre ladrones, g?nsteres y polic?as corruptos y, al no encontrar entradas para los Jackson 5 para su hija adolescente, no duda en recurrir a un viejo contacto policial que, a cambio, le reclamar? favores un tanto dudosos.
Manifiesto criminal nos conducir? desde un mundo de caprichosas estrellas de Hollywood, traficantes de drogas y sicarios que pueblan una producci?n cinematogr?fica «made in Harlem hasta una trama de especuladores y corrupci?n pol?tica que har? que el barrio arda en llamas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of Harlem Shuffle continues his Harlem saga in a powerful and hugely entertaining novel that summons 1970s New York in all its seedy glory.
"Dazzling" -Walter Mosley, The New York Times Book Review. It's 1971. Trash piles up on the streets, crime is at an all-time high, the city is careening towards bankruptcy, and a shooting war has broken out between the NYPD and the Black Liberation Army. Amidst this collective nervous breakdown furniture store owner and ex-fence Ray Carney tries to keep his head down and his business thriving. His days moving stolen goods around the city are over. It's strictly the straight-and-narrow for him -- until he needs Jackson 5 tickets for his daughter May and he decides to hit up his old police contact Munson, fixer extraordinaire. But Munson has his own favors to ask of Carney and staying out of the game gets a lot more complicated - and deadly. 1973. The counter-culture has created a new generation, the old ways are being overthrown, but there is one constant, Pepper, Carney's endearingly violent partner in crime. It's getting harder to put together a reliable crew for hijackings, heists, and assorted felonies, so Pepper takes on a side gig doing security on a Blaxploitation shoot in Harlem. He finds himself in a freaky world of Hollywood stars, up-and-coming comedians, and celebrity drug dealers, in addition to the usual cast of hustlers, mobsters, and hit men. These adversaries underestimate the seasoned crook - to their regret. 1976. Harlem is burning, block by block, while the whole country is gearing up for Bicentennial celebrations. Carney is trying to come up with a July 4th ad he can live with. ("Two Hundred Years of Getting Away with It!"), while his wife Elizabeth is campaigning for her childhood friend, the former assistant D.A and rising politician Alexander Oakes. When a fire severely injures one of Carney's tenants, he enlists Pepper to look into who may be behind it. Our crooked duo have to battle their way through a crumbling metropolis run by the shady, the violent, and the utterly corrupted. CROOK MANIFESTO is a darkly funny tale of a city under siege, but also a sneakily searching portrait of the meaning of family. Colson Whitehead's kaleidoscopic portrait of Harlem is sure to stand as one of the all-time great evocations of a place and a time.
