The House of the Seven Heavens: and Other Stories

by Mark Morganstern

This collection of two novellas and three short stories is concerned with displacement-both physical and emotional. A young immigrant woman with a visionary gift strives for freedom in an unfamiliar new country and from her own patriarchal family. Men of a certain age encounter unpredictable events as they confront mortality and the passing of relationships. A homeless Jamaican chef whose past defies reason gets justice in the present. A hapless real estate agent tangles with foreign gangsters, star-crossed love, and the question, who am I?

Morganstern writes with kindness and humor, and with a freewheeling hallucinatory sensibility. He transports us from culinary delights to mystical visions, seamlessly merging the mundane with the mysterious to uncover something new beneath the everydayness of American life.
