Inhaltsangabe

Self-described “floater,” sixteen-year-old Ricky Hawkins seeks refuge in the game he loves, basketball. As his home life frays, his two sisters intent on grieving their mother’s recent death as his father pushes mercilessly forward, Ricky bonds with teammates from Lazy Point, the nearby enclave of fishermen, and Freetown, East Hampton’s African-American neighborhood, charting a new course that leads into their homes with their own fractured families, and finally, inescapably, back to his own.

Empty roadways winding through farms and woodlands, open vistas of sea and sky—this is the backdrop, seductive and austere, against which Ricky Hawkins recounts the haunting tale of Amagansett ’84.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Author, Shelby Raebeck grew up on Long Island's East End in the hamlet of Amagansett and later returned to live in neighboring Springs. He is author of the critically acclaimed story collection, LOUSE POINT: STORIES FROM THE EAST END, the novels, WONDERLESS and AMAGANSETT '84, and the one-person, two-act play, FREMONT'S FAREWELL. Raebeck has been celebrated as "that rare East End writer who portrays local folks trying to get through the day" (Mark Segal, The East Hampton Star), as a writer with a deep sense of the East End's land and seascapes who "renders the glorious East End few visitors or second homeowners get to see" (Joan Baum, Southampton Press), and as "a local through and through, who doesn't flinch from the downside of the place he calls home" (Beth Young, East End Beacon).
