Harlem Shuffle (2021)
Book
Published
Ray Carney sells furniture and occasionally moves goods whose origins he would rather not examine. A cousin's proposed robbery strains that distinction between respectable trader and willing fence. Whitehead is especially good on the small permissions that accumulate before anyone announces a grand criminal decision. Read for a funny, detailed account of family ambition, unequal opportunity and the convenient borders people draw around their own honesty.
