In “Horseman,” a young professor confronts an undergraduate plagiarist—as well as her own regrets. In “Intervention,” a realtor facing a serious medical prognosis finds himself in his late father’s shadow. “Voice” gives us a semiretired academic who is conned by his estranged brother into joining a group tour of the Venice Biennale. And “Milton and Marcus” takes us into a lapsed novelist’s attempt to rekindle his screenwriting career—a career that depends wholly, at a crucial moment, on two Hollywood icons (one living, one dead). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLook for Richard Russo's new book, \u003ci\u003eSomebody's Fool\u003c\/i\u003e, coming soon.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412797849855,"sku":"9781101971987","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781101971987_s600x595.jpg?v=1775585663","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781101971987","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
