Sag Harbor

Sag Harbor

by Colson Whitehead

'Sag Harbor' is a vivid recollection of teenage life in the 1980s, chronicling the summer escapades of Benji Cooper in the Hamptons. One of the few Black students at a prestigious Manhattan prep school, Benji's world transforms during the summer when he joins a tight-knit African American community at Sag Harbor. In a blend of rueful nostalgia and humorous observation, Colson Whitehead captures the essence of youthful reinvention and the bittersweet moments that come with growing up. As Benji grapples with universal teenage predicaments and the added complexities of race and class, 'Sag Harbor' unfolds as a captivating exploration of identity and belonging.
