Homer & Langley by E.L. Doctorow

4.0

An introspective treat; a story that shows us so much of 20th century "America" without ever leaving New York City. Written from the perspective of Homer Collyer (who is blind), the reader is taken on a nearly century long journey that never strays more than a few blocks from the Collyer's Fifth Ave. estate. Homer and his eccentric older brother, Langley, prove to be a captivating team as they navigate the mental and physical burdens of expectation, tradition and myth.
