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. 600 10 $a Collyer, Homer Lusk, $d 1881-1947 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Collyer, Langley, $d 1885-1947 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Brothers $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Recluses $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Morey, Arthur. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714011635.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20150902015713.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3CC0C9FCFBCE11DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b LXYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
