The novel had recently been sent to production companies, with the TV rights eventually going to Amazon Prime. I figured everyone in Saltaire would think it was hilarious.įast forward to the following summer, my book still a year away from publication. I was thrilled when Bad Summer People sold to a publisher. The book was social satire, with a sprinkling of mystery and a dash of White Lotus escapism. The citizens of Bad Summer People were heightened versions of NYC’s elite: finance bros, type-A stay-at-home moms, and the strivers who surround them. I used “Saltaire” in the draft, and I named characters after townspeople who happened to be riding by on their bikes, planning to change the names if the book ever saw the light of day (I’d never written fiction before, so figured this possibility was slight). I wrote the novel while sitting in my parents’ front porch, overlooking the Great South Bay.
