Sag Harbor

The ultimate coming of age tale Nikesh Shukla

"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
