MEANWHILE ON A ROOF IN CHINATOWN--in the early 1990s, Alice, a middle-aged Swedish professor, stuffs her husband’s ties into the dishwasher and leaves their pleasant suburban villa outside of Stockholm, suitcase in hand, on a blind exodus towards a city she knows only from glossy travel brochures. Meanwhile, her daughter Babylonia is perched on the roof of her shabby Chinatown apartment, agonizing over how how to break up with her depressive Hungarian boyfriend. Alice manages to get locked out on the roof of her daughter's apartment without keys or money. This begins a picaresque journey, where she descends into an alternative Manhattan of after-hours clubs, gangsters, booze and roulette. Throughout her 48-hour odyssey, she engages with a quirky assortment of strangers, including the mysterious Charles. To find her way back to familiar ground is at first unmanageable and then, perhaps. not so desirable as she first thought. Alice can surprise as well as be surprised, and this story charms and beguiles with its feel for a New York of the not-so-distant past, a shabby, crazy and sometimes romantic city.

Review "This wonderful tale unfolds in a New York that differs from the one we see in fancy travel logs. This is a dirty, worn city peppered with small bars, sewing sweatshops, mafia bosses and retired transvestites. The story is both fun and fast-paced, yet underlining it all are the great, anguished questions: How do we wind up where we wind up? Don't things get any better than this?" Literature Magasinet [review of Swedish edition] "Rudefors writes Alice as a sort of female, middle-aged Holden Caulfield--the disorientated drone in JD Salinger's seminal The Catcher in the Rye--only sixty years later and in an ornate Chinatown." Helsingborgs Dagblad[review of Swedish edition] "This fast-paced story will make you laugh. You simply do not want it to end. " Bibliotekstjänsts[The Swedish Library Service Review, review of Swedish edition]
About the Author Raised in tranquil Stockholm, Ingrid Rudefors always dreamt of the big city. Immediately after finishing high school, she packed her bags and left for New York.From 1977 to 1993, she lived in the then-quite-derelict East Village, frequenting the downtown club scene. This period provided inspiration for the characters, locations and situations in this novel.Rudefors has also written and directed several award-winning short films, among them the 1990s cult-short A Woman's Point Of View During Sex. She has written three feature length screenplays with support from the Swedish Film Institute and has worked for twenty years in the film industry in New York and Stockholm, serving for eight years as the Film Commissioner of Stockholm.She moved back to Stockholm to raise her daughter in 1993, but is now back in New York and lives with her husband on the Lower East Side-within walking distance from the Chinatown of this novel.

By Amazon Customer Meanwhile on a Roof in Chinatown drew this reader in from the very first paragraph.I thoroughly enjoyed Ingrid Rudefors New York tale.Its written with such intricate detail that was once invisible to the eye and heart becomes visible. It's reminiscent of a through the rabbit hole Alice in Wonderland adventure..with gritty mysterious underground characters instead of white rabbits and hookah smoking caterpillars . I didn't want the story to end..looking forward to the next one .
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A very skillfully woven New York tale By Jeff Ward 'Meanwhile' is a very skillfully woven tale with a wonderfully cinematic feel throughout. Its characters are honest and thoughtful, and richly observant. They 'demand' that the reader becomes likewise. Hence, making your interaction with this book a highly rewarding one.
