About This Event

Colson Whitehead will be presenting a livestream event at Mitchell Library in Glasgow on 21 August 2026. The session features Colson Whitehead, recognized for his storytelling that examines historical struggles alongside human resilience. Entry to this community event is free and requires no ticket booking.

Colson Whitehead is one of America’s most skilled and essential storytellers, holding the horrors of history in one hand and big-hearted humanity in the other. After consecutive Pulitzer Prize-wins for The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys, he concludes his acclaimed Harlem trilogy with Cool Machine: a portrait of hustle in 1980s New York. Join Whitehead for an energising conversation on why we can’t move forward without looking back. Chaired by Samira Ahmed. This is a livestream event from the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
