Drawing heavily on the author's own immigrant experience, this psychological, stream-of-consciousness work tells the story of an emigré poet working as an elevator operator in a large New York hotel during the mid-1950s. The novel moves through sharply contrasting settings and stages in the narrator's life in Lithuania before and during World War II, returning always to New York and the recent immigrant's struggle to adapt to a completely different world."--Page [4] of cover ER -
