We last heard from Colson Whitehead in our 2008/09 Season, four books into his career. Five books later, he’s collected a National Book Award and the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for his latest, The Underground Railroad.

Snoqualmie Casino is just about a half hour from Seattle (an hour from Tacoma), set in the beautiful and quaint small town of Snoqualmie. Nearby are Snoqualmie Falls and the Snoqualmie Brewery and Taproom. The casino is large and attractive, decorated in the spirit of the Northwest. Snoqualmie is probably best-known for the shows it gets. There are 12 poker rooms in the Seattle & Tacoma area, and we at PokerAtlas provide complete and up-to-date information about every room in every location including Bellingham, Everett, North Seattle, Oak Harbor & Anacortes, Olympic Peninsula, South Seattle, and Tacoma. Seattle has a total of 4 poker tables spread across 4 poker rooms. You can play a number of poker games, including Limit Holdem, No Limit Holdem, Omaha Hi. Satanovsky said Wall Street firms and recruiters have been paying increasing attention to poker players as job candidates since 2003, when amateur Chris Moneymaker beat hundreds of professionals. The light rail system in Seattle runs from the airport all the way to Seattle University, with stops also in the Downtown area and other busy neighbourhoods. There are only 15 stations, but it’s still a decent system, although there are plans to extend the lines by 2021.

The Q&A for this event will be moderated by local author and editor, Stephanie Stokes Oliver.

One of America’s most daring and inventive writers, Colson Whitehead is the author of the novels Zone One, Sag Harbor, The Intuitionist (a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway award), John Henry Days, which won the Young Lions Fiction Award, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and Apex Hides the Hurt, winner of the PEN Oakland Award. He has also written a book of essays about his hometown, The Colossus of New York, and a non-fiction account of the 2011 World Series of Poker called The Noble Hustle. Whitehead is also the recipient of a Whiting Writers’ Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a MacArthur Fellowship, among other accolades.

His latest novel, The Underground Railroad, is the winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The selection board hailed the book as “a smart melding of realism and allegory that combines the violence of slavery and the drama of escape in a myth that speaks to contemporary America.” In addition, it was the winner of the National Book Award for Fiction in 2016. The Underground Railroad tells the story of Cora, a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia, who hears about the Underground Railroad and decides to make her terrifying escape, fleeing state by state, seeking her freedom.
