Brilliant brothers Langley and Homer Collyer are born into bourgeois New York comfort in settled times, their home a fin-de-siècle mansion on upper Fifth Avenue, their future rosy. But before he is out of his teens Homer begins to lose his sight, Langley returns from the War in Europe with his lungs seared by gas, and when the death of their parents in the influenza epidemic of 1918 leaves the brothers orphaned, they seem perilously ill-equipped to deal with the new era. Around Central Park carriages give way to motor cars, Prohibition to free love, but Homer and Langley adapt: their townhouse fills and empties and fills again, with servants, lodgers, tea-dancers and gangsters. They are mocked and spied on, embraced by hippies and besieged by bailiffs, but as the world turns ever more incomprehensible Homer and Langley hold fast to their principles of self-reliance, courage, kindness and love, and they endure.

Reclus dans leur maison de la Cinquième Avenue depuis la disparition de leurs parents en 1918, deux frères traversent le siècle en assumant une ardente vocation d'ermites. A leur grand dam, leur solitude est pourtant troublée par deux guerres mondiales ainsi que par les irruptions des multiples acteurs de la comédie humaine dont New York est le théâtre - avec ses immigrants, ses prostituées, ses gangsters et autres musiciens de jazz. Pianiste aveugle passionné de musique classique, grand amateur de femmes, Homer est à peine plus raisonnable que son frère, Langley, esprit rebelle et farfelu, friand d'objets en tout genre qu'il amasse au gré de ses lubies... Inspiré d'une histoire vraie - celle des frères Collyer, collectionneurs compulsifs retrouvés morts en 1947, ensevelis sous des piles de journaux et de livres -, ce roman drolatique, pétri d'humanité et porté par deux personnages dont la loufoquerie le dispute à l'humour, narre, à sa façon jubilatoire, l'épopée du matérialisme et de la solitude made in USA.

A true tale of changing New York by Franz Lidz, whose Unstrung Heroes is a classic of hoarder lore. Homer and Langley Collyer moved into their handsome brownstone in white, upper-class Harlem in 1909. By 1947, however, when the fire department had to carry Homer's body out of the house he hadn't left in twenty years, the neighborhood had degentrified, and their house was a fortress of junk: in an attempt to preserve the past, Homer and Langley held on to everything they touched. The scandal of Homer's discovery, the story of his life, and the search for Langley, who was missing at the time, rocked the city; the story was on the front page of every newspaper for weeks. A quintessential New York story of quintessential New York characters, Ghosty Men is a perfect fit for Bloomsbury's Urban Historicals series.
