John Henry Days

Narrated by Peter Jay Fernandez

In "John Henry Days," freelance writer J. Sutter embarks on a junket to West Virginia for the unveiling of a new postage stamp and the John Henry Days festival. As he indulges in free meals and navigates the festival, a near-fatal incident at a press dinner evokes shadows from his past, leading to profound personal change. Colson Whitehead's novel, narrated by Peter Jay Fernandez, offers an inventive retelling of the John Henry legend while exploring the intricacies of modern journalism.
