Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • PEN/FAULKNER AWARD FINALIST • From the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys: a hilarious and supremely original novel set in the Hamptons in the 1980s, "a tenderhearted coming-of-age story fused with a sharp look at the intersections of race and class” (The New York Times). Benji Cooper is one of the few Black students at an elite prep school in Manhattan. But every summer, Benji escapes to the Hamptons, to Sag Harbor, where a small community of Black professionals have built a world of their own. The summer of ’85 won’t be without its usual trials and tribulations, of course. There will be complicated new handshakes to fumble through and state-of-the-art profanity to master. Benji will be tested by contests big and small, by his misshapen haircut (which seems to have a will of its own), by the New Coke Tragedy, and by his secret Lite FM addiction. But maybe, just maybe, this summer might be one for the ages. Look for Colson Whitehead’s new novel, Crook Manifesto, coming soon!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the title LOOKING BACK in a series of columns over many years,Jim Marquardt has delved into the colorful history of Sag Harbor, from the colonists who came ashore at Conscience Point in 1645 to the intrepid whaling captains who ventured into unknown Arctic waters. Did you know that at one time whaling was the third largest industry in the United States? Or that a few Sag Harbor sailors jumped ship and became kings of South Seas islands? Or that Sag Harbor wives sometimes sailed with their husbands on threeand four-year voyages? Here are the stories of the Native Americans who lived here long before the colonists, the friendship of Chief Wyandanch and Lion Gardiner, the first Custom House established in our young country, the Black sailors who crewed the whale ships, saboteurs who landed in Amagansett in WW 11, mutinies, shipwrecks, steamboats, and people like John Steinbeck who wrote that Sag Harbor made him happy.This is a rich collection of more than 70 stories by a writer who has dug deeply to tell us why so many people visit, linger in, and love Sag Harbor.

Book excerpt: "For 300 years, Sag Harbor has been a prism reflecting facets of American history, from its heyday as a prominent whaling port worthy of mention in Moby-Dick, to a factory town shipping out Bulova watches, to its latest incarnation as an alternative coastal retreat to the exclusive Hamptons. Stephen Longmire explores the stories of this renowned eastern Long Island community in Keeping Time in Sag Harbor, a unique combination of fine-art photographs and historical text." "Architecture is a cornerstone of Sag Harbor's charm, because the village has preserved a full range of buildings, dating from the American Revolution to the present. These include the stately eighteenth- and nineteenth-century mansions lining what realtors have dubbed "Captains Row"; the modest homes of generations of working people from diverse backgrounds; the commercial facades of Main Street; and preserved public buildings such as the early Custom House and Minard Lafever's Whalers' Church." "The work to protect this architecture - and the economic and ecological balance it embodies - in the face of booming real estate development is at the heart of Longmire's account. Interviews with residents, both new and old, chart the evolving character of the village, exploring how it has struggled to retain its identity while learning to sustain itself on tourism. Anchoring this story are Longmire's own color photographs of Sag Harbor today and archival photographs and maps that reveal the many layers to the community's sense of place." "Keeping Time in Sag Harbor is an intimate portrait of a special place that is changing fast, despite almost all of the town being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Through Longmire's images and words, we appreciate why Sag Harbor is both a unique American village and an example of what is happening to communities across the United States, from Santa Fe to South Beach." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Sag Harbor written by Tucker Burns Roth and published by Arcadia Publishing Library Editions. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prosperous deepwater shipping port on the south shore of Long Island, Sag Harbor was in its heyday as a whaling village in the early 1800s. By 1850, whaling was unprofitable, petroleum had been discovered, and the 1849 Gold Rush led to an exodus. As Sag Harbor fell into economic decline, the arrival of the railroad helped reinvigorate it as a factory town, bringing Fahys Watchcase, Alvin Silver, Bliss torpedo testing, and Bulova, until those industries shuttered. The silver lining to Sag Harbor's boom and bust has been the preservation of its heritage. The grand homes of captains and whaleship owners, tradesmen's cottages, and factory houses were untouched for years, attracting a wave of artists, writers, and weekenders. This fine collection of 18th- and 19th-century homes and public buildings placed the village in the National Register of Historic Places, drawing tourists to walk in the footsteps of Native Americans, colonists, whalers, and resident-writers James Fenimore Cooper and John Steinbeck and to visit the village's war monuments and museums and charming Main Street.

With 75 full-color reproductions of Whitney Hansen's paintings.
