  • "Jeden Sommer trifft sich auf dem Ferienparadies Long Island die New Yorker Mittelschicht. Wenn Benji und seine Freunde in der afroamerikanischen "Enklave" der Insel eintreffen, werden die neuen Klamotten, der neue Jargon, die neuen Songs diskutiert. Voll Wärme und Komik schildert Colson Whitehead einen ganzen Katalog der Kultur der achtziger Jahre, die Regeln und Riten der Gesellschaft und die Unschuld des Erwachsenwerdens. Sein stimmungsvoller Roman ist eine Liebeserklärung an einen paradiesischen Ort in Amerika - und zugleich ein präzises Porträt der schwarzen Mittelschichtjugend."
  • "The year is 1985. Benji Cooper is one of the only black students at an elite prep school in Manhattan. After a tragic mishap on his first day of high school his social doom is sealed for the next four years. But every summer, Benji escapes to the Sag Harbor, where a small community of African American professionals has built a world of their own. Because their parents come out only on weekends, he and his friends are left to their own devices for three glorious months. And although he's just as confused about this all-black refuge as he is about the white world he negotiates the rest of the year, he dares to hope that this summer will be different. There will be trials and tribulations, of course - from the complicated new handshakes, and state-of-the-art profanity, to his misshapen haircut (which seems to have a will of its own), and his secret Lite FM addiction. But maybe, with a little luck, things will turn out differently this summer."

  • "From the award-winning author of John Henry Days and The Intuitionist: a tender, hilarious, and supremely original novel about coming-of-age in the 80s. 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 African American 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. From the Trade Paperback edition."@en
