The Immortalists

SUMMARY “She knows that stories have the power to change things: the past and the future, even the present.” It’s the summer of 1969 (Bryan Adams anyone?) and the Gold children are bored. Varya, Daniel, Klara and Simon have all been stuck in a hot two bedroom apartment in the lower East Side for over a month with nothing to do. They decided to go see a fortune teller that Daniel has heard about who apparently has the ability to tell someone the day they will die. The children cycle between morbid curiosity and denial, but they end up going anyway. One by one these children go by themselves (??) into this lady’s apartment, and one by one these children get the date of their supposed death.
