From The Archives: Colson Whitehead On The Digable Planets, 1993
Before he was writing novels about zombies, elevator inspectors and summers on Long Island, the man behind 2010's best literary twitter account worked on staff at the Voice, writing mostly about television but often about books and music as well. To coincided with the release of his new Zone One, we spent a couple of hours in the archive room, using the old-fashioned card catalog, to unearth what turned out to be some of the best pop criticism we had read all month. Yesterday we reproduced his review of Basehead's We're Not in Kansas Anymore, and today we've got his take on Digable Planets' Reachin' (A New Refutation of Space and Time).
