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":"Russo, Richard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/Fiction M-R","offer_id":45721624051936,"sku":"","price":13.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_26b016d9-0e91-401d-a19d-7194872b0534.jpg?v=1717352346","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/trajectorybooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
