MacArthur and Whiting Award winner, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, and author of acclaimed novels, including The Intuitionist and John Henry Days, Colson Whitehead delivers a deeply affectionate and fiercely funny coming-of-age novel (Sag Harbor) while exploring racial and class identity, illustrating how it is impossible to define an individual in isolation from his family's communal history.
