Hairway to Heaven Stories by Patty Somlo

“Gentle, affectionate, and genuinely touching stories about the street musicians, immigrants, artists, entrepreneurs, con artists and lovers who live on or near Martin Luther King Boulevard . . . people who celebrate ‘every bit of brightness’ in their lives, and Patty Somlo makes their stories shine.” – Molly Giles, author of the story collections All the Wrong Places, Creek Walk and Rough Translations

“Reading Patty Somlo’s stories is like sitting at the feet of a wise and ancient storyteller who both entertains and speaks words of wisdom. This is fiction written in the best possible way--writing that finds something noble even among the most down-trodden. Read her!” – E.C. Osondu, Winner of The Caine Prize. Associate Professor of English Providence College.
