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. --from publisher's website. 520 $a A free imaginative rendering of the lives of New York's fabled Collyer brothers depicts Homer and Langley as recluses in their once grand Fifth Avenue mansion, facing odyssean perils as they struggle to survive the wars, political movements, and technological advances of the last century. 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. 650 1 $a Brothers $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 2 $a Fictional Works 600 17 $a Collyer, Homer Lusk, $d 1881-1947. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00497565 600 17 $a Collyer, Langley, $d 1885-1947. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00497566 650 7 $a Brothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839665 650 7 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901271 650 7 $a Recluses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01091440 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 600 17 $a Collyer, Homer Lusk, $d 1881-1947 $v Fiction. $2 nli 600 17 $a Collyer, Langley, $d 1885-1947 $v Fiction. $2 nli 650 7 $a Brothers $v Fiction. $2 nli 650 7 $a Recluses $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. $2 nli 650 7 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $v Fiction. $2 nli 651 7 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. $2 nli 650 7 $a Brothers $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Hermits $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 4 $a Biographical fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726537 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a American fiction. $2 nli 830 0 $a New York Times best sellers. 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=serviceetdoc_library=BVB01etdoc_number=018654745etline_number=0001etfunc_code=DB_RECORDSetservice_type=MEDIA 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=018654745&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210621154701.0 $n 13 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B1F787AAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
