WHEN ONE FALLS DOWN is a novel written in the form of a memoir dictated by Howie Moon Friedman. For, now as he approaches the age of sixty he finds himself being troubled by two shadow figures who refuse to leave him be until he bears witness to events that took place thirty years before, when he and his friends were the last members of a neighborhood, trapped and unable to move on with their lives till one of them falls down and his ghost takes possession of a living man; thereby affecting the destiny of the others. ***Ghosts and foreign gangsters, Hasidus and prostitutes seeking their freedom, an accident that may have been murder, a homeless drunk and an alleged Jewish saint, risen from the dead to fix something-- which all has something to do with some guys who are still arguing over long forgotten games of stickball and two-hand touch played on a dead-end alley street.
