Intricately woven tale of a NY man waiting for his wife

Consider a man, independently wealthy, who has nothing to do all day but wander the streets of New York with a walkman blaring his blessed classical music. He meets a woman by deciphering her handwriting. Suddenly, he is alive. This book is a journey through the mind of a man waiting for his wife to come home from a dinner engagement, and the thoughts with which he amuses himself for the evening. It is a beautiful story
