«The freshest racial allegory since Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye»
Walter Kirn, Time
«Ingenious and starkly original . . . Literary reputations may not always rise and fall as predictably as elevators, bit if there's any justice in the world of fiction, Colson Whitehead's should be heading toward the upper floors»
New York Times Book Review
«Magical . . . The Intuitionist ranks alongside Catch-22, V, The Bluest Eye and other groundbreaking first novels . . . Whitehead shares Heller's sense of the absurd, Pynchon's operatic expansiveness and Morrison's deconstruction of race and racism»
San Francisco Chronicle
«Whitehead's prose is graceful and often lyrical, and his elevator underworld is a complex, lovingly realized creation»
New Yorker
