"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:

------------------
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.
