- Synopsis
- A New York Times Notable Book: A friendship evolves between an aging author and a young grad student in a novel by the acclaimed author of Florence Gordon. A PEN/Faulkner Award Nominee and one of Publishers Weekly&’s Best Books of the Year Leonard Schiller is a novelist in his seventies, a second-string but respectable talent who produced only a small handful of books. Heather Wolfe is an attractive graduate student in her twenties. She read Schiller&’s novels when she was growing up and they changed her life. When the ambitious Heather decides to write her master&’s thesis about Schiller&’s work and sets out to meet him—convinced she can bring Schiller back into the literary world&’s spotlight—the unexpected consequences of their meeting alter everything in Schiller&’s ordered life. What follows is a quasi-romantic friendship and intellectual engagement that investigates the meaning of art, fame, and personal connection. &“Nothing less than a triumph,&” Starting Out in the Evening is Brian Morton&’s most widely acclaimed novel to date (The New York Times Book Review).
