2025-26 English 300 Required: American Literature


In this bravura follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize - and National Book Award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller The Underground Railroad, Colson Whitehead brilliantly dramatizes another strand of American history through the story of two boys sentenced to a hellish reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida. Based on the real story of the historic Dozier School, a reform school in Florida that operated for 111 years that was revealed to be highly abusive and warped the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative that showcases a great American novelist writing at the height of his powers.

Paperback. Published by Knopf in 2020. 224 pages. ISBN 9780385693981
