"The Underground Railroad," by Colson Whitehead, has won this year's National Book Award in Fiction for 2016.

Here's an excellent review in the NY Times:

And here's a link to Amazon:

------------------

Whitehead is also the author of "Zone One: A Novel", which may appeal to genre-driven members here at Mobileread. If, like me, you enjoy 'brains' with your genre (no pun intended), then you may find Colson's intellectual take on an apocalyptic society a breath of fresh air in an ever-popular, but tired genre.

For the link to "Zone One: A Novel," try Amazon's link here, which I am conveniently providing to you out of the kindness of my heart:
