{"product_id":"9781491731949","title":"The Director of Minor Tragedies","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdam Levtov teaches drama at a small college in the tiny town of Hope Falls. He usually gets stuck with directing one of Shakespeare™s \"minor tragedies\", but this year, he is staging Othello, and the pressure is mounting. Unfortunately for Levtov, his students are rebelling; his teenage son is wearing eyeliner; and a hulking man with a Russian accent is stalking him. All the while, Levtov is struggling with his guilt over a lie he has lived for fifteen years; a household roiled by his demented father-in-law; and a wife who may be flirting with one of Levtov™s colleagues. Is all this why Adam Levtov feels like a ghost walking through life? The Director of Minor Tragedies takes the reader into a world of tragedy and treachery, wrongdoing and redemption, in which low comedy crouches stealthily behind high art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In his debut novel, Ronald Pies creates a compelling family drama filled with love, compassion, humor and a keen understanding of the human condition...A pleasure from the opening sentence through the satisfying conclusion, this book left me hoping for a sequel.\" - Richard Berlin, MD, Author of \u003ci\u003eHow JFK Killed My Father\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSecret Wounds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142529138928,"sku":"9781491731949","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781491731949_p0.jpg?v=1763659237","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781491731949","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
