It interweaves four strands: a photographer newly returned to the neighborhood where she grew up, after years spent living overseas; a foundling raised on 14th Street; a graduate student, his romantic partner, and his best friend entangled in a set of relationships with far-reaching personal and political repercussions; and a shopkeeper suffering from first love late in life. Mixing prophecy, history, and a hint of speculative fiction, its stories are bound together even as they are propelled into stranger territory. And undergirding it all is a song, which appears, disappears, and then resurfaces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGhosts of New York\u003c\/i\u003e explores complex lives through indelible renderings of settings--a bar, a night market, a recording studio--that alternate between familiar and unsettling.
