[edit] Skinny Black Guy another White House first

7 November 2008, by New York Times op-ed contributor Colson Whitehad offers a light-hearted humorous look at another Obama-inspired presidential first: The Skinny Black Guy. The question of whether Obama is “too skinny” to be elected president was first plastered on the cover of the Wall Street Journal in August — yes, really! The assumption apparently being that not only do the Joe the Fatty Sixpacks of the nation cast their votes based on who they’d like to have a beer with, but who’d they also like to eat thei

6 November 2008, by We had a historic election yesterday, but you wouldn't know it from Omni so far. We figure you've got that pretty well covered elsewhere in your reading and viewing, but I've just found a way to note it in a bookish way, with Colson Whitehead's op-ed piece in this coming morning's New York Times on the true ground-breaking importance of President-elect Barack Obama : Yesterday morning, I woke up to a new world. America had elected a Skinny Black Guy president. I never thought I’d see the day.

Incluso estos últimos han perdido mucho terreno en los últimos meses. Cuando pasaba una hora en tren por la mañana llegaba a trabajar totalmente informada.

[edit] Island of Many Hills: New York Diary, Part 1

22 July 2008, by Much has been written about Manhattan, and New York City in general, but after visiting the city last week for the first time, I feel compelled to offer some thoughts. I’ve always been intimidated by New York. It holds no romance for me, only fear. It is the Big City of all big cities. The way I envision New York is that everyone who lives there is a savvy predator or a canny survivor. Now that I’ve visited there, that perception is stronger still. I don’t get this feeling from other cities I

[edit] Intuiting Whitehead

18 June 2008, by so my copy of The Intuitionist finally arrived in the mail today from amazon. im excited to be reading it, although it took awhile for me to warm up to colson whitehead. i first read his op-ed in the new york times about fort greene (it’s in one of my first posts on this blog) and really liked his voice and pov, decided to look into him more, and was never in the mood to read one of his novels. they all were heavy racial allegories whose plots seem totally contrived–warring ideological fac

1 May 2008, by Colson Whitehead is one of my favorite contemporary authors. [click here for a link to the article where this photo came from, which also gives a five-day summary of Whitehead's meat diet] Recently, he wrote a satirical piece for The New York Times that is just so spot on. Titled "Visible Man" it chronicles the life of the character "The Guy Who's Where He Is Only Because He's Black." I have read all of Whitehead's novels (my favorite was Apex Hides the Hurt--again, in the realm of satire i

[edit] You know … that guy

29 April 2008, by Colson Whitehead on … well, you know. Most folks don’t know much about me, apart from the feeling of injustice that hits when I walk into the room with my easy charisma and air of entitlement. I understand. It’s weird when your government passes legislation, like equal opportunity laws, that benefits one single person in the [...]

Multimillionaire TV pundits are lecturing “the common man” on how outraged they should be about Mr. Obama’s elitism. It’s all hokum, and I should know. For it is I, The Guy Who’s Where He Is Onl

22 April 2008, by Ah, the circles of coincidence. Perhaps I should not be so easily impressed. It’s a small world, after all, and given the e’er-proliferating recombinations and regurgitations of information in this, our grand digital age (we ain’t seen nothin’ yet), we might certainly expect to encounter, on a regular basis, nexes of factors that, in some small way, strike us as coincidental. Like this. Colson Whitehead. Couldn’t tell you a thing about him, just to go by the name. Well, except from what I gle
