"Homer & Langley" by EL Doctorow. This based on historical novel about the events of America's most famous Messies attracts me to a bizarre account of the situation: A New York Villa, crammed with over 100 tons of waste, consisting of newspapers, dishes, weapons, furniture.

With Doctorow's novel takes corrective action after 80 years in public perception and saves " two figures of the urban legends from the area of pathology in the world of art and culture."

Only silence.

only white space. "
