Anyone else ever read Colon Whitehead?
I've read Nickel Boys and Sag Harbor. Of the 2, I much preferred Sag Harbor, which Colson Whitehead has described as autobiographical. It's a nostalgic coming-of-age tale set in the summer of '85, about teenage Benji and the other summer inhabitants of Sag Harbor, an enclave in the Hamptons established by Benji's grandparents and other Black families. It's sweet and serious and funny (Benji's New Coke diatribe is hilarious), just as a nostalgic coming-of-age novel should be.
