Reading: The Intuitionist

I should mention that I recently finished Colson Whitehead's debut novel "The Intuitionist," and found it delightful. The book follows the first Black female elevator inspector in the Guild, who belongs to a school of praxis known as Intuitionism. Deliciously, it's never quite clear if Lila Mae et al come from an alternate universe where elevator inspecting is extremely Serious Business socially and politically, or if it merely looms large in the psyches of all of our characters who are deeply involved in the business and its philosophical and historical minutiae.
