This brilliantly inventive first collection captures the disparate lives of the residents of Manhattan's West 89th Street. Five stories are set in one apartment building, where young Davie Birnbaum watches his neighbors' lives unfold. The title story reworks F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," whose hero is born as an old man and ages in reverse; Brownstein's Button lives on the third floor, fading away toward infancy. In apartment 7E, a lawyer named Zauberman reenacts the life of Hawthorne's Wakefield: he abandons his family so that he can spy on them. Meanwhile, the proctologist in the penthouse plays Icarus and Daedalus with his misfit son. These are tales of literary voyeurism, as the narrators look in on other people's everyday victories and misfortunes marriages, car accidents, love affairs, and adoptions and make sense of what they see by thinking about the stories they know best.

Glad I chose these Sturdy, Fluffy Pillows
Color: White, Size: 18x18 Inch
Took me forever to decide which pillows to buy....Price won out. There might be better out there, but I really can't see how. They plumped up really nicely. I once learned from a manager at a big box dept store when purchasing a goose down pillow how to 'activate' the pillow. Basically, he violently threw the pillow down onto the floor, then proceeded to beat the tar out of it....That's how it's done. I think many ppl don't do a good enough job when they get their pillows. I watched several videos from ppl who have purchased this type of pillow. And quite frankly, they do not know what they are doing....My pillows are very plump and awesome. I purchased the 20" squares and then chose 18" pillow covers to stuff them into. Perfection. Fat, soft, soothing pillows. Me and my Doggo are quite happy to lounge around on these durable puffs of fluffiness.

Perfect
Color: White, Size: 12x12 Inch
These are great quality pillow inserts. They arrived very securely vacuum packed. Be careful when opening. I followed the directions and they were fluffy within a few minutes. They are small, but this is the size that I needed. I am glad that I didn’t order a few inches larger, as recommended by many. They fit perfectly in my 12x12 inch pillow covers. I would recommend this brand and seller for purchasing this product.
