No, they're not homeless, but they live in an incredibly dilapidated apartment building in a poverty-stricken section of New York. <BR/><BR/>All of the characters are vivid and alive, but the real story is Moonbloom's a perpetual student who becomes a rent collector in his slumlord brother's buildings and is gradually awakened and transformed.<BR/><BR/>A slender little book that I will definitely read one more time before I die.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455366984301716210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969281918175291060.post-10512953658900583102009-02-01T15:26:00.000-08:002009-02-01T15:26:00.000-08:00Thanks, anon.

It was fun to read the book, honing in on the homelessness aspect and to write my essay.<BR/><BR/>This is something I will definitely want to do again. Anyone who can recommend novels that have a homeless element to them, I would appreciate telling me.
