Letters of the Streeta collection of letters written by a man who lives alone in an old apartment on the 14TH floor. The letters record time in the apartment and especially the mans favorite pastimeleaning upon the wooden window with either a cigarette or a cup of coffee in his hand, drifting aimlessly into the view and into his own memories. The book deals with the mans memories and his battle to escape the consequences of getting sucked into his past. Towards the end, the man realizes strength and newness through the same memories that used to eat him, and he sees his run-ins with life as blessings and his eventualities as arbitrary stumbling into grace.
