In \"Horseman,\" a professor confronts a young plagiarist as well as her own weaknesses as the Thanksgiving holiday looms closer and closer: \"And after that, who knew?\" In \"Intervention,\" a realtor facing an ominous medical prognosis finds himself in his father's shadow while he presses forward--or not. In \"Voice,\" a semiretired academic is conned by his increasingly estranged brother into coming along on a group tour of the Venice Biennale, fleeing a mortifying incident with a traumatized student back in Massachusetts but encountering further complications in the maze of Venice. And in \"Milton and Marcus,\" a lapsed novelist struggles with his wife's illness and tries to rekindle his screenwriting career, only to be stymied by the pratfalls of that trade when he's called to an aging, iconic star's mountaintop retreat in Wyoming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"BookPageTitleSection\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"BookPageTitleSection__title\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 aria-label=\"Book title: A Book of Kisses\" data-testid=\"bookTitle\" class=\"Text Text__title1\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"BookPageMetadataSection\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__contributor\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ex Libris Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43148594446563,"sku":"ODD578-12422","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5675\/7951\/products\/32337901.jpg?v=1658354605","url":"https:\/\/www.exlibrismichigan.com\/products\/trajectory-by-richard-russo-2017","provider":"Ex Libris Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
