The Venn Diagram of “A Cappella’s 30” and “Oprah’s Book Club Picks” doesn’t have much overlap. Where it does is a sure sign of a major literary feat. Prior to this, his sixth novel, Whitehead was relatively unknown outside a small circle of passionate fans. His books are hard to pigeonhole and blend grand artistic ambition with a full embrace of the tropes of genre. Whitehead’s inspired idea of making the Underground Railroad a literal underground railroad—and letting that serve as a vehicle to examine slavery—accomplished at least two critical things. First, it pulled readers down into the depths of the human chattel trade like few books ever had. Second, it made its author, accustomed to book signings where maybe a dozen nerdy book collectors might show up, one of the biggest draws we’ve ever had at the Carter Center.
