Through a Dusty Window: New York City Stories 1910-2001

By Delancey Stewart

New York City is a place full of whispers and ghosts. It is impossible to walk the sidewalks there without considering the lives and paths of those who walked them before; those who left their imprints - visible and hidden - on everything that makes up the city today. Through a Dusty Window is a collection of ten short stories spanning a century between 1910 and 2001, all of which take place in the same Upper West Side brownstone apartment. Through each vignette, readers are given perspective on historical events that deeply influenced the city, filtered and understood - or misunderstood - through the eyes of Stewarts characters. From Prohibition to World War II; the Vietnam-era Summer of Sam killings to John Lennons murder - Stewarts stories give modern day explorers a chance to see the city as it was, and to answer the question: who was here before me?
