Selection:
Sag Harbor
by Colson Whitehead
Meeting Date: Wednesday June 17th, 7:30pm
Smart, and funny Benji Cooper, the self-deprecating protagonist at the heart of Colson Whitehead’s, “Sag Harbor”, negotiates two New York worlds, those of an elite white prep school and a sheltered black enclave. This endearing coming of age story causes us to root for Benji as he fumbles through adolescence, bouncing between the two worlds with charm and humor. Colson Whitehead, a MacArthur Fellow, is a New York based novelist. Called by John Updike,”scintillating”, and, “strikingly original” Whitehead’s other novels include: The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, and, Apex Hides the Hurt.
