Wall Street Journal writer Lucette Lagnado's book The Man in the White Sharkskin is a fascinating, personal tale of a journey from Cairo to the United States. She wrote the book while staying in Sag Harbor. Told from the perspective of Lulu (Lagnado as a child), the story follows the life of her father– who wore sharkskin suits and gambled with the King in Egypt before being forced to leave the country. By the time the family reached New York , her father was then selling ties in the city subways.
Man in the White Sharksin Suit
Compelling, lovingly written narrative about what it means to live in a culture that is both cosmopolitan and limiting - and what it means to be a displaced family in a new environment.
