Colson Whitehead won the Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for his novel "The Underground Railroad." It's an alternate history of slavery in America from an author who has built a reputation on tweaking the boundaries of reality in order to reveal more about the world we live in. We are in Corvallis to spend the hour with Whitehead, who is in town to accept an award from Oregon State University.
