Lynne Sharon Schwartz’s novel, Leaving Brooklyn, is the third book in the Hawthorne Rediscovery Series, and it was a finalist for the Pen/Faulkner Fiction Award and the National Book Critics Circle award. Ursula Hegi wrote the introduction to this edition, and she said this about Lynne, “Some writers, I believe, are born with that odd and magical way of seeing, and Lynne is certainly one of them. For us, there is no other way of seeing: we’re drawn toward the kind of beauty we find in distortion, and we come to celebrate the gift and the persistence of our odd vision.”
