Morningside Heights by Joshua Henkin5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() She’s determined to take the city by storm like so many other youngsters before her, but soon her life takes its first unexpected detour, in the form of her young, hotshot Shakespeare professor, Spence Robin. The novel begins by introducing us to the main character as she arrives from Ohio to New York in 1976, her heart full of hopes and head full of dreams. In Morningside Heights by Joshua Henkin, we meet Pru Steiner, whose life plans have been nothing but changing perpendicularly to her desires and ambitions. While the former seem to remain constant from start to finish, the plans elaborated for us by our own kin are often subject to change, reality refusing to conform itself to the whims of living beings. From the moment we’re born plans start being formed for us both by the laws of nature as well as our families. ![]()
