In New Mexico, she is a young mother. Stuck in a marriage that's
deteriorating, unable to shake the feeling that her house and
belongings are trapping her, she is increasingly drawn to reflect
on who she was before: when she worked as an editor in New York,
rarely in her own apartment, always seeking new places to call
home. As she folds time, seeking to inhabit her past, she begins to
encounter ghosts. Time and again, a solitary man appears - Gilberto
Owen - a lesser known poet of the Harlem Renaissance, and an
obsession of her youth. He is living on the edge of Harlem's social
scene at the beginning of the Great Depression, anticipating death,
and tracing spectral visions of his own - among them, a young
woman, travelling alone, on the subway. Valeria Luiselli's daring
debut, Faces in the Crowd is a meditation on time, hauntings, and
the elusive, transitory identities we assume.
