The Ghost of Gerstenhabers: And Other Stories

Glenn Laszlo Weiss

It is 1969 in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York. A striving working-class community which will boast three World Champions, The Mets, Jets and New York Knicks. The area's prize toy store, Gerstenhabers will be the scene of a terrible, malicious, and foreboding presence that permeates the entire neighborhood. A family, the Kaufmans, will be both the target and later the factor that culminates in the defeat of hatred. This triumph of Good vs. Evil sets up an unforgettable love story.

The Bystander is a response to Camus' The Stranger. A man whose identity is changeable, looks back as well as lives in an increasingly harsh and unforgiving world. As his days dwindle, he tries to create a meaningful reflection of the times.

Other stories consist of struggles of addiction, sticking to principles and devotion. Memories of faith and the role fate plays in outcomes are featured. There are tributes to real-life heroes in different fields and tales of cosmic reveries.
