Synopsis

A local builder on Long Island’s fast-developing East End, Michael Dorian is forced to reckon: with a failing marriage and teenage daughter riddled with anxiety; with his tirelessly ambitious brother/business partner who leads them deeper into the maw of ruthless development; with the nature of a hauntingly beautiful place that offers opportunity but no longer feels like home.
East Hampton Blue is about the dark cloud of excess that threatens to consume Long Island’s East End, and about the patchwork of characters who live beneath it, those who adapt, finding new paths amidst the changing landscape, and those who refuse to.

About the Author

Author, Shelby Raebeck grew up on Long Island's East End in the hamlet of Amagansett and later returned to live in neighboring Springs. He is author of the critically acclaimed story collection, LOUSE POINT: STORIES FROM THE EAST END, the novels, WONDERLESS and AMAGANSETT '84, and the one-person, two-act play, FREMONT'S FAREWELL. Raebeck has been celebrated as "that rare East End writer who portrays local folks trying to get through the day" (Mark Segal, The East Hampton Star), as a writer with a deep sense of the East End's land and seascapes who "renders the glorious East End few visitors or second homeowners get to see" (Joan Baum, Southampton Press), and as "a local through and through, who doesn't flinch from the downside of the place he calls home" (Beth Young, East End Beacon).
