Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, THE KANSAS CITY STAR, AND BOOKLIST Homer and Langley Collyer are brothers—the one blind and deeply intuitive, the other damaged into madness, or perhaps greatness, by mustard gas in the Great War. They live as recluses in their once grand Fifth Avenue mansion, scavenging the city streets for things they think they can use, hoarding the daily newspapers as research for Langley’s proposed dateless newspaper whose reportage will be as prophecy. Yet the epic events of the century play out in the lives of the two brothers—wars, political movements, technological advances—and even though they want nothing more than to shut out the world, history seems to pass through their cluttered house in the persons of immigrants, prostitutes, society women, government agents, gangsters, jazz musicians . . . and their housebound lives are fraught with odyssean peril as they struggle to survive and create meaning for themselves.

Book excerpt: Quase hipnótica em sua intensidade narrativaOs irmãos Homer e Langley, excêntricos personagens dos Estados Unidos do século XX, tornaram-se uma espécie de lenda tragicômica de Nova York. Doctorow toma as liberdades da ficção para recontar sua história sob o ponto de vista de Homer, o irmão cego, numa recomposição intimsta que nos leva a conhecer os interiores da casa e das mentes de duas vidas famosas por sua estranheza.Tendo perdido os pais ainda jovens, os irmãos Collyer passaram décadas abrigados na mansão da família, localizada na nobre Quinta Avenida de Nova York, e ao longo de décadas isolaram-se cada vez mais do mundo externo. Sozinhos em sua fortaleza, lutavam sua solitária cruzada contra o mundo, cercados pelas toneladas de jornais e objetos velhos que guardavam na residência ― incluindo um automóvel, instalado na sala de jantar.A narrativa começa bela e leve, com um Homer adaptando-se à falta de visão e um Langley retornando da guerra. Aos poucos, porém, a insanidade se infiltra nas vidas dos irmãos, até o ponto em que a circulação na casa torna-se difícil e em que, devendo milhares de dólares em hipoteca e contas de luz e outros serviços públicos, tornam-se famosos na Nova York na época.Doctorow se reserva o direito que só a literatura permite de penetrar na misteriosa residência dos Collyer para, além de imaginar o passar dos anos de duas vidas abandonadas, reviver uma triste mas rica história de excentricidade e solidão.

Cypress Hills provides a perfect balance of lush landscaping, funerary art and sculpture, and a final resting place for some of America's most notable figures, such as Jackie Robinson, Mae West, and Eubie Blake.
