Book Release: The Hamptons Dictionary Platinum Edition

“Stuck in traffic with a bad case of Hummeroids, I was becoming more aggrichvated by the minute. Outside, another Greenfield had disappeared, replaced by a McMansion farm that had sprouted overnight. An empty beer can flew the Chevy Subdivision in front of me, probably some hampsters arguing about slaughterhouses on their way to a hicnic.”
 
New York, NY – Does the statement above leave you a bit perplexed? You need to grab a copy of The Hamptons Dictionary. More than a lexical guide to the local lingo, more than an expose of bizarre behavior, The Hamptons Dictinary is a window deep into the very heart of the Hamptons- a beautiful  yet twisted place where insanity passes for refined behavior and  grotesque overconsuption for civilized values.
 
While Eastern Long Island, NY’s swanky beach community is the inspiration for Miles Jaffe’s acidic but humorous look at the misadventures of the wealthier- than- thou, it will be equally appreciated by residents of and visitors to other communities where the uber-rich congregate.
 
The book features hundreds of hilarious entries as well as original illustrations by Plinio Marcos Pinto depicting everything from humbrellas to trustafarians.
 
Miles Jaffe is an industrial designer and satirist. The son of renowned architect Norman Jaffe and lifelong Hamptons resident, Miles is a gadfly to be reckoned with.
