Colson Whitehead on 'Cool Machine' and Never Writing the Same Book Twice

From the creator

In this special edition of Glass Half Full, Craig Melvin shares his previously recorded full TODAY interview with two time Pulitzer Prize winner, Colson Whitehead, for a conversation about creativity, identity, and what it looks like to keep reinventing yourself after you've already done everything. He opens up about why switching genres with every book is the only way he knows how to stay honest, what ChatGPT said about his new book, Cool Machine, and why, after two Pulitzers, he's still not sure he's done his best work yet. » Subscribe to TODAY: https://www.youtube.com/@TODAY TODAY brings you the latest headlines and expert tips on money, health and parenting.
