A lost midcentury classic—the farcical misadventures of a queer Black teen sharing a house with two adoptive mothers, a lascivious cook, and a reticent ghost. In a small Michigan town, in the late 1950s, the widow Etta Klein—wealthy and Jewish—has for more than thirty years relied for aid, comfort, and companionship on her Black housekeeper Harriet Gibbs. Between “Aunt Harry” and Etta, a relationship has developed that is closer than a friendship, yet not quite a marriage. They are inseparable, at once absurdly unequal and defined by a comic codependence. Forever mourning the early death of her favorite son, Sargent, Etta has all but adopted Aunt Harry’s nephew, the precocious, gay seventeen-year-old Oliver, who has been raised by both women. Oliver is facing down his departure to college—and fending off the advances of Etta’s cook, Nella Mae—when the household is disrupted by the arrival of a self-proclaimed “warlock,” one Maurice LeFleur, who has convinced Etta and Harry that he might be able to contact Sargent in the afterlife . . .

There is nothing else quite like them in American fiction.

Poznáte dobre príbeh o troch mudrcoch z Východu a o tom, ako putovali z ďaleka, aby položili svoje dary ku kolíske jaslí v Betleheme. No počuli ste niekedy príbeh o štvrtom mudrcovi, ktorý tiež videl vychádzať hviezdu a vydal sa za ňou, ale k malému Ježiškovi so svojimi bratmi neprišiel? Aké bolo jeho putovanie? Nádherný príbeh o hľadaní a ceste za Ježišom je v tlači takmer nepretržite už od svojho prvého vydania v roku 1895 a stal sa námetom niekoľkých adaptácií.
