The Moon Canopy

Fred Feldman's first novel, "The Moon Canopy, " is a vivid portrayal of life in SOHO during the early 1970s. An inviting studio apartment on Chrystie Street attracts an offbeat artist named Geronimo Sabat and a middle class Jewish gallery girl.

Sabat, without a penny to his name, declares himself renter of the apartment. Along the way, he begins an off-kilter courtship with Leah, an aspiring artist in her own right. Their love affair blossoms under the weary eye of Saltzman, owner of the building and unwanted father figure to Leah.

As time passes, their love raises many questions about art, life, race, class, and coming of age.
