A masterful tapestry.--Richard Price, author of Lush Life A marvelous novel. --Rabih Alameddine, author of The Angel of History and An Unnecessary Woman Jim Lewis sees like a photographer and writes like an avenging angel. --Sally Mann, author of Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs A beautifully vulnerable work of fiction. --Jardine Libaire, author of White Fur Ghosts of New York is a novel in which the laws of time and space have been subtly suspended. It interweaves four strands: a photographer newly returned to the neighborhood where she grew up, after years spent living overseas; a foundling raised on 14th Street; a graduate student, his romantic partner, and his best friend entangled in a set of relationships with far-reaching personal and political repercussions; and a shopkeeper suffering from first love late in life. Mixing prophecy, history, and a hint of speculative fiction, its stories are bound together even as they are propelled into stranger territory. And undergirding it all is a song, which appears, disappears, and then resurfaces. Ghosts of New York explores complex lives through indelible renderings of settings--a bar, a night market, a recording studio--that alternate between familiar and unsettling. The work of a celebrated novelist and veteran of the art, film, and music scenes in New York and Austin (described as a rare talent by the New York Times and a powerful literary voice by Jeffrey Eugenides), this novel will immediately absorb readers intrigued by creative people and the places that sustain and challenge them.
