Abstract
(type = abstract)
This collection of 7 loosely interconnecting stories revolves around a Philadelphia bar named The Luxurious, or the Lux, and its regulars and those connected to the regulars between the years 1985 and 2012. The South Philadelphia Neighborhood is changing and this bar is at the center of its controversial gentrification, and so the characters include both the new Millennials and the old timers who meet at this watering hole. The lead character is Declan, bar owner, who must make a decision to either keep the bar (which is paid off), or sell it as part of his divorce settlement. Additionally, there is Shaiful, an Indian-American colonial impersonator, Sandy, a widow, Rick, a drag queen, Bo, a new transplant from Chicago, and several other characters whose lives loosely interconnect in the style of novels such as Olive Kittredge or A Visit from the Goon Squad. These are the first 7 stories of what will eventually be a longer collection.
