Synopsis

Above Sugar Hill is an unforgettable collection of short stories set in Washington Heights, New York, in a place no one from outside the neighbourhood is expected to visit. It is a visceral, vital work of site-specific fiction. These tales take place between 1973 and 2001 – a Puerto Rican Independentista fends off the FBI, a young girl spots Marilyn Monroe more than ten years after her suicide, an opera-singing housing activist goes missing, presumed to have been murdered. Here is a literary map of Upper Manhattan, uncompromising narratives and complicated truths.

    Nora May French was a Californian poet and a member of the bohemian literary circles of the Carmel Arts and Crafts Club, which flourished after the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906. She gained minor recognition, but no financial stability, through local magazines. Published posthumously by friends in 1910, four years after French's suicide, Poems by Nora May French was the first and only compilation of her works until 2009.Although many of her poems celebrate the serenity of coastal landscape, others are less sanguine. They offer glimpses into the mind of a young woman plagued by heartbreak and torn between pressure to submit to social roles and longing to live creatively. The most famous poem in the collection, The Spanish Girl, reflects on a failed engagement, the first of many. - Summary by Mary Kay
