His books have sold modestly, and he lives comfortably enough in the suburbs with his wife and daughter. He leaves the grand gestures and extravagant parties to his more expansive brother, Thornton, an insurance salesman who moonlights as Gregory’s literary agent.\u003cbr\u003e When Gregory’s latest book is unexpectedly selected for a notable prize, the brothers suddenly find themselves at the center of a publicity frenzy. With talk of a movie deal in the air, Gregory moves out to California—but it’s Thorn who really rises to the occasion, thriving on and encouraging the attention, while Gregory toils away dutifully at scripts and rewrites. At last, Thorn feels he is in his element—but what happens when the brothers’ fifteen minutes are up?","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155124011248,"sku":"9781453238769","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453238769_p0.jpg?v=1763848937","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453238769","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
