{"product_id":"9780393346275","title":"Childish Loves: A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe last piece of a literary puzzle falls into place in the final novel of Benjamin Markovits’s Byron trilogy.\u003c\/p\u003e When his former colleague Peter Sullivan dies, Ben Markovits inherits unpublished manuscripts about the life of Lord Byron—including the novels \u003cem\u003eImposture\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eA Quiet Adjustment\u003c\/em\u003e. Ben’s own literary career is in the doldrums, and he tries to revive it by publishing and writing about his dead friend, whose reimagining of Byron’s lost memoirs—titled \u003cem\u003eChildish Loves\u003c\/em\u003e—may provide a key to Sullivan’s own life and tarnished reputation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Acting as a literary sleuth, Ben sorts through boxes of Sullivan’s writing; reads between the lines of his scandalous, Byron- inspired stories; meets with the Society for the Publication of the Dead; and tracks down people from Peter’s past in an effort to untangle rumor from reality. In the process, he crafts a masterful story-within-a-story that turns on uncomfortable questions about childhood and sexual awakening, innocence and attraction, while exploring the lives of three very different writers and their brushes with success and failure in both literature and life.","brand":"Norton, W.
