3. Virtual Marginalia: Review Of Whitehead, Colson Author whitehead colson Posted October 07, 2002. Lila Mae Watson is the city s first female and second African American elevator inspector. http://www.papaya-palace.com/katbooks/archives/000564.html

Virtual Marginalia Book title: The Intuitionist Author: Whitehead Colson Posted October 07, 2002 Lila Mae Watson is the city's first female and second African American elevator inspector. In any ordinary universe, this would be a rather unremarkable achievement. However, in the world Whitehead creates for us, this is extraordinary. You see, elevator inspectors are held in high regard in this world it's a calling that requires 3 years of training at The Institute for Vertical Transport, one that parents dream of for their children. It's an election year in the Elevator Guild, and by long tradition, the head of the Guild gets the job of head of the city's Department of Elevator Inspectors. The Department is torn between two factions: Empiricists, who work by directly observing the mechanisms that drive the elevators they inspect; and Intuitionists, who feel the mechanisms and sense the elevator's state of being. The Empiricists have long controlled the Guild, but this year, the Intuitionists have a real chance of winning. Lila Mae is an Intuitionist. She's not overtly political, but she falls into this conflict. The book is somewhat disconcerting, as the details of the city are drawn from various cities and eras, creating an urban landscape that is jarring and a bit unnerving. The fact that the entire story is told from within the Department of Elevator Inspectors is further disquieting, as the reader is never certain whether the Inspectors really hold such high status, or if they just think they do.

15. Bold Type: Colson Whitehead In the Intuitionist, colson whitehead has written an utterly original novel. http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/1298/whitehead/

Meet Lila Mae Watson, inspector par excellence in a major metropolitan city's Department of Elevator Inspectors. The first black female inspector in the department's history, she has its highest accuracy rate. Lila Mae is an Intuitionist, and she is never wrong. The Intuitionists, swamis of elevator inspection, feel the elevator. The Empiricists, on the other hand, go by the book, and naturally, they are deeply suspicious of Intuitionist methodology. So when an elevator crashes on Lila Mae's watch, chaos ensues. Sabotage is the obvious explanation: it's an election year in the Elevator Guild, and the good-old-boy Empiricists would love nothing more than to assign the blame to an Intuitionist. As Lila Mae tries to uncover the truth, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue. The sudden appearance of excerpts from the lost notebooks of Intuitionism's founder, James Fulton, has caused quite a stir. The notebooks describe Fulton's work on the "black box," a perfect elevator that could reinvent the city as radically as the first passenger elevator did when patented by Elisha Otis in the nineteenth century. Lila Mae becomes involved in the search for the notebooks and discovers a secret that will change her life forever. Colson Whitehead has written an utterly original novel, and in Lila Mae Watson he has created one of the most endearing heroines in quite some time. Marked by lithe prose and a stylish urban vision, Whitehead offers a thoroughly engaging meditation on race. A dead-serious and seriously funny feat of the imagination
