From Ragtime and Billy Bathgate to The Book of Daniel, World’s Fair, and The March , the novels of E. L. Doctorow comprise one of the most substantive achievements of modern American fiction. Now, with Homer & Langle y, this master novelist has once again created an unforgettable work.
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.
Brilliantly conceived, gorgeously written, this mesmerizing narrative, a free imaginative rendering of the lives of New York’s fabled Collyer brothers, is a family story with the resonance of myth, an astonishing masterwork unlike any that have come before from this great writer.

評分在读这本书的过程中,欣赏与怀疑总是交替出现。对于作者描写的功力一直持欣赏态度;对这个题材又一直持着怀疑态度:花这么一本书来写一个几乎是普通到极点的主题意义何在? 我是读完之后才知道这竟然是根据真人真事创作的。 也难怪,作家对这样的题材总归会心里一动吧:一对隐...
評分In Homer& Langley (Random House), E.L. Doctorow (Ragtime, The Book of Daniel) borrows from the lives of the infamously eccentric Collyer brothers, one bline, one shell-shocked in World War I, to create a seemingly claustrophobic yet cunningly panoramic tale...
