Colson Whitehead
from the reverse:
J. Sutter is a bonafide junketeer--a freelance writer, traveling from city to city, hungry for free meals and the discarded sales receipts of others to claim on his expense account. Traveling into the backwoods of West Virginia to write a piece on the unveiling of the new John Henry postage stamp and the ensuing John Henry Days festival, J. continues his nearly record-setting, three-month junket binge. But when he begins to choke on a piece of prime rib at a press dinner, shadows from the past are summoned forth and he leaves the mountain a changed man.
Colson Whitehead is the author of the

contemporary journalism.
