Description
Homer and Langley is a novel about two brothers, born into a life of comfort in New York, who struggle to cope with the challenges of their lives. As they navigate the complexities of adulthood, Homer's sight begins to fail him, while Langley returns from war with health problems that will affect him for years to come. Their parents' deaths leave them feeling vulnerable and unprepared for the changing world around them. Despite this, the brothers hold fast to their independence and create a life on the fringes of society, where they can shut out the world and focus on themselves. However, as the events of the century unfold, their lives become increasingly intertwined with the epic happenings of the time. This novel explores the struggles of two men to survive and find meaning in a rapidly changing world, and the ways in which their individual experiences shape their understanding of themselves and their place in society.
