Colson Whitehead
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead, an exuberantly entertaining novel that brings 1980s New York to vivid, unforgettable life.
1981. New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture's Dealer of the Month. When the banks won't give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind.
1983. To some, Carney's friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he's feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he's plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you're uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker.
1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie's death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie's son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he's spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right.
With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead's vivid characters, it's what's below the surface that reveals the truth.

批評家のレビュー
Drugs, rap and Reaganomics: Colson Whitehead's trilogy ends with a bang... In its totality the trilogy is far more than a series of capers. It is Whitehead's most sustained attempt to capture his native city - or, as he describes it, "a monstrous entity powered by innate miseries, operated by brute will, and held together by pluck, fury and rebar"... Taken together, the books amount to a street-level social history of modern New York told through fences, gangsters, hookers, politicians, landlords, developers and dreamers - a Dickensian gallery of rogues through whom an entire metropolis comes into view
'Readers with an appetite for noir fiction and stylishly exuberant storytelling are rewarded with an atmospheric, stylish finale... Whitehead brings 1980s New York to vivid, unforgettable life
It's about Harlem in the '80s. Colson Whitehead wrote three books about Harlem, one in the '60s, one in the '70s, and this is the last one. You do not need to have read the other two. Colson Whitehead is the best there is, period
The conclusion to Whitehead's Harlem trilogy finds the furniture salesman Ray Carney and his partner in crime, Pepper, navigating midlife, a changing city and, as always, a dubious scheme or two
Two-time Pulitzer winner and the author of Oprah's 75th Book Club pick The Underground Railroad closes out his Harlem Trilogy with a swaggering trip through early '80s New York... Add old ghosts, bigger risks, and a city turning glossy and ruthless, and you've got Whitehead at his best
This year sees Colson Whitehead conclude his Harlem trilogy, following upHarlem Shuffle andCrook Manifesto withCool Machine, set in 1980's New York
Don't be sad that Whitehead's rollicking Harlem trilogy is ending. Be happy that it exists and will remain endlessly re-readable as long as novels are around
Whitehead's Harlem Trilogy has easily been one of the high water marks for contemporary crime fiction, and the series comes to a fitting conclusion this year with Cool Machine, a wild march into 1980s New York... Whitehead is one of the most talented novelists of the era, and we're lucky he's taken on such a deeply felt, wildly entertaining project
The two-time Pulitzer laureate hits a high note with the conclusion to his Harlem trilogy
Colson Whitehead has won the Pulitzer Prize two very well-deserved times, and Cool Machine is the latest in his staggeringly poignant oeuvre. New York City as it existed in the 1980s serves as the backdrop for this novel, and Whitehead masterfully leverages both its grit and glamour to stunning effect
