Review:
He weaves a spell that is by turns enchanting, mood-shifting, and side-splitting, sharing the sweet, sad secrets of his mixed-up, mid-’80s adolescence –-Elle
Intimate and autobiographical story ... the novel can’t help but hold your attention --Dazed and Confused
The Coolest Writer in America - He's widely admired, ever smooth, a master of writing important books –-Esquire
Whitehead is a smart guy and a dazzling talent ... he has a David Foster Wallace-esque knack for punctuating meticulously figurative constructions with deadpan slacker wit --Los Angeles Times
A love letter not only to the Long Island town and African-American summer enclave but to '80s culture and The Cosby Show; to hip-hop and upper-middle-class black culture --Dallas Morning News
Sea-breeze buoyant ... each reunion with a childhood Sag Harbor friend means a chance for Benji to study and analyze new affectations. Mr. Whitehead, whose previous novels include The Intuitionist and John Henry Days, describes this process so entertainingly that it becomes the book’s greatest asset.... What’s best about Sag Harbor is the utter and sometimes mortifying accuracy of its descriptive details --New York Times
It is impossible not to like Sag Harbor and its genuinely empathetic, intelligent tone - The Times Whitehead proves himself, among other things, a poet of the American summer and its aspirations...remarkable --Guardian
