The Literary Black Book Club will meet every month to discuss mostly contemporary fiction written by Black authors. This month we'll discuss Colson Whitehead’s tenderhearted coming-of-age story fused with a sharp look at the intersections of race and class, set in the Hamptons in the 1980s, Sag Harbor.
