Klappentext zu „Sag Harbor “
From the author of the Man Booker longlisted The Underground RailroadBenji spends most of the year as one of the only black kids at an elite prep school in Manhattan, going to roller disco bar mitzvahs, desperately trying to find his place in the social hierarchy.
Then he spends his summers in the African-American community of Sag Harbor on Long Island, and is just as confused. He's way behind on the latest handshakes, baffled by new slang, and his attempts to be cool and meet girls are constantly thwarted by his extremely awkward inner geek, braces and a badly cut Afro.
It's the summer of 1985 and Benji is determined that this is the summer when things will change and he'll fit in. For starters, he'll be reinvented as 'Ben'. When that doesn't catch on, it's another summer of the perpetual mortification that is teenage existence.

Rezension zu „Sag Harbor “
"Whitehead proves himself, among other things, a poet of the American summer and its aspirations...remarkable" Guardian "It's rare to come across a coming-of-age novel as polished as Colson Whitehead's Sag Harbor" New Statesman "it is impossible not to like Sag Harbor and its genuinely empathetic, intelligent tone" -- Neel Mukherjee The Times "Coming-of-age tales set in the 1970s and 1980s may be two-a-penny but Colson Whitehead has managed to add a distinctive twist to the genre... It is both a universal tale of adolescent angst and a fascinating portrait of Sag Harbor" -- Adrian Turpin Financial Times "Whitehead's delicious language and sarcastic, clever voice fit this teenager who's slowly constructing himself" New York Times
