Sag Harbor

<b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER • PEN/FAULKNER AWARD FINALIST <b>• </b>From the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of <i>The Underground Railroad</i> and <i>The Nickel Boys</i>: a hilarious and supremely original novel set in the Hamptons in the 1980s, "a tenderhearted coming-of-age story fused with a sharp look at the intersections of race and class” (<i>The New York Times</i>).</b><br><br>Benji Cooper is one of the few Black students at an elite prep school in Manhattan. But every summer, Benji escapes to the Hamptons, to Sag Harbor, where a small community of Black professionals have built a world of their own.<br><br>The summer of ’85 won’t be without its usual trials and tribulations, of course. There will be complicated new handshakes to fumble through and state-of-the-art profanity to master. Benji will be tested by contests big and small, by his misshapen haircut (which seems to have a will of its own), by the New Coke Tragedy, and by his secret Lite FM addiction. But maybe, just maybe, this summer might be one for the ages.<br><b><br><br></b>
