A young mother in Mexico City captive to a past that both overwhelms and
liberates her and a house she cannot abandon nor fully occupy writes a
novel of her days as a translator living in New YorkA young translator
adrift in Harlem is desperate to translate and publish the works of
Gilberto Owen an obscure Mexican poet who lived in Harlem during the 1920s
and whose ghostly presence haunts her in the citys subways And Gilberto
Owen dying in Philadelphia in the 1950s convinced he is slowly disappearing
recalls his heyday decades before his friendships with Nella Larsen Louis
Zukofsky and Federico Garcia Lorca and the young woman in a red coat he saw
in the windows of passing trains As the voices of the narrators overlap and
merge they drift into one single stream an elegiac evocation of love and
loss
