SUMMARY:Verve Book Club: The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
DESCRIPTION:When Elwood Curtis\, a Black boy growing up in 1960s Tallahassee\, is unfairly sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called the Nickel Academy\, he finds himself trapped in a grotesque chamber of horrors. Elwood’s only salvation is his friendship with fellow “delinquent” Turner\, which deepens despite Turner’s conviction that Elwood is hopelessly naive\, that the world is crooked\, and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble. Based on the real story of a reform school that operated for 111 years and warped the lives of thousands of children\, this Pulitzer prize-winning novel showcases Colson Whitehead at his best.
