Colson Whitehead and Samantha Hunt

Samantha Hunt (The Invention of Everything Else) grills Colson Whitehead about summering in a mostly African-American community on Long Island in 1985 (his memories of which may or may not have been fodder for his best-selling novel Sag Harbor, which comes out in paperback this week). In case of rain, head to the Library of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen (20 W 44th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves).
