This magical realist tale follows the travails of a burnt-out Queens' teacher who spends his time obsessing over the fact that he has been cheated out of living in his Grandma Rose's Lower East Side apartment, and is thus priced out of his 'More Recent Ancestral Home', Manhattan, that is. Rothman weaves a rich story about real estate and memory. Daniel, our protagonist, is haunted by the remembrances of his childhood experiences in his grandmother's apartment. One day he discovers a hidden relic on Rivingston Street, a tenement reclamation office run by an eccentric centurion named Hannah. When Daniel inquires about the chances of his reclaiming his grandmother's old tenement, Hannah is not impressed. "Things don't work like that, you rude, young schlub!"
