Colson Whitehead is an American author acclaimed for his novels, receiving the Young Lions Fiction Award, Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for "John Henry Days," and PEN Oakland Award for "Apex Hides the Hurt." He has also been honored with the Whiting Writers’ Award, Guggenheim Fellowship, and MacArthur Fellowship. Whitehead resides in New York City.

In "Apex Hides the Hurt" by Colson Whitehead, the town of Winthrop seeks a new name, sparking a conflict among its residents. A software millionaire proposes "New Prospera," while the mayor favors the name chosen by the town's founding black settlers, and the aristocracy resists any change. They hire a nomenclature consultant to resolve the issue. As the consultant navigates the town's divisions, he uncovers deeper truths about Winthrop. In a culture dominated by marketing, the chosen name could redefine the town's identity.
