The
tale of compulsive hoarders
Homer and Langley Collyer so shocked 1940s Manhattan that the brothers
and
their Harlem brownstone live on today as one of the most notable
American case
studies of acute disposophobia. With a nervous energy and obsession to
match
his protagonists, Matt Bell’s prose burrows, forensically, into the
layers of
the brothers’ lives, employing a multilinear narrative structure and a
frenetic
plurality of perspectives to reach a core of despair that is both
terrifyingly
primal and distressingly familiar.
