Homer and Langley by EL Doctorow

This is the fictionalised true story of the Collyer brothers, hoarders and eccentrics, who were finally found dead in their Harlem brownstone, Langley when a booby trap fell on him and Homer from starvation. It’s a weird and amazing story, sad, but kind of nice with the wistful voice of Homer charting the years. 3 1/2 stars
