Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Mannheim's restive tales of her desiccated stretch of New York provoke and abide like a slap." - Eimear McBride "Linda Mannheim's smouldering vignettes of New York life are both achingly sad and beautifully wrought. These are stories to re-read and savour." - Stuart Evers "The stories in Above Sugar Hill share a strong sense of territory but at the same time the buildings in them are vandalised and neglected; they burn and crumble - The children are as vulnerable as the buildings in which they live." - Alison Moore

Reseña del editor:

Above Sugar Hill is an unforgettable collection of short stories set in Washington Heights, New York City. Located between 145th and 181st Street - roads no one from outside the neighbourhood is expected to visit. It is a visceral, vital work of site-specific fiction. These tales of New York take place between 1973 and 2001 - a Puerto Rican Independentista fends off the FBI, a young girl spots Marilyn Monroe more than ten years after Monroe's suicide, an opera-singing housing activist goes missing and presumed to have been murdered. Above Sugar Hill is a literary map of Upper Manhattan memories, uncompromising narratives and complicated truths.
