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 . . . Ladies of the Rachmaninoff Eyes was the debut of the extraordinary Henry Van Dyke, whose witty and outrageous novels look back to the sparkling, elaborate comedies of Ronald Firbank and forward to postmodern burlesques like Fran Ross’s Oreo. There is nothing else quite like them in American fiction.

"Joy and Power: Three Messages with One Meaning" by Henry Van Dyke, a renowned American author, poet, and theologian, delivers profound insights into the interwoven essence of joy and power. Through his eloquent prose, Van Dyke explores three distinct yet interconnected messages, all leading to a singular revelation. Van Dyke's first message delves into the significance of joy in human existence. He paints joy as not merely an ephemeral emotion but rather a fundamental aspect of our being, capable of infusing life with meaning and vitality. In the second message, Van Dyke delves into the concept of power, emphasizing its potential for both constructive and destructive purposes. He elucidates how true power emerges not from dominance or control but from a deep understanding of oneself and a harmonious relationship with the world. Lastly, Van Dyke unites joy and power, revealing their inseparable connection. He elucidates that true empowerment arises from embracing joy, and genuine joy stems from harnessing one's inner power. "Joy and Power" offers timeless wisdom, guiding readers on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and enlightenment. Van Dyke's prose resonates across generations, inspiring readers to cultivate joy and wield power wisely in their quest for fulfillment and purpose.
