We have a in-depth discussion on Sag Harbor, Colson Whitehead's meditation on summer and the in-betweenness of being a black teenager attending an elite New York prep school.  We discuss respectability politics, post-blackness, and whether Sag Harbor is a novel of manners and not a bildungsroman.

This is the first book in our series Race in Contemporary America where we read books written by contemporary minority writers.  Don't want to hear spoilers?  Listen to our previous episode where we review the book.
