520 1 $a"Based on the lives of the Collyer brothers, New York's legendary recluses and collectors, The Dazzle offers an insightful look into the land of obsession. Langley Collyer, a budding concert pianist, is captured by the "dazzle" of memories contained within a moment. Charged with his care, older brother Homer indulges in the thrill of tall tales, while the wealthy, rebellious Milly Ashmore struggles to be included in the brothers' world, a crowded place increasingly populated by fantasies.".
520 8 $a"In Everett Beekin, the tensions between the safety of family and the yearning for a larger life are explored through the relationships of two sets of Jewish sisters. Part One finds Anna and Sophie bickering over younger sister Miri's gentile suitor, Jimmy; Levittown; and other indecencies of post-World War II America; Part Two, set fifty years later, reunites Anna's daughters, Nell and Celia, on a California beach.
520 8 $aAnna's and Sophie's struggles with identity and prosperity become Nell's and Celia's struggles with the casual blandness of the 1990s. Linking the generations is the name Everett Beekin - that of Jimmy's business partner and, later, of Everett Beekin VIII, the prospective bridegroom of Nell's daughter, Laurel."--BOOK JACKET.
