{"product_id":"9781504966849","title":"I Want to Know What Love Is: A Brief Book on Love, Loneliness, and Compulsion","description":"This confessional reminiscence is part autobiography, part self-help therapy, and part meditation on love. It is the heart of a journal over three decades of a tormented life. While searching for love, the author, a failed playwright and a loner, leads a secret double life. Publicly he is an English professor, but privately a dissolute and self-abusing racetrack tout trapped in a love\/hate addiction to the horses.  Redemption comes, but comes slow and hard.  From an editor: Dear Mr. Rosenthal,    Many thanks for sending your manuscript, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS. We publish only plays and musicals for the theater. You will find your manuscript enclosed.    I did, however, read your manuscript. The title entranced me. Once I started reading I could not put it down. What a beautiful piece of work. I apologize for keeping it for so long. But I did not want to part with it!    Best wishes on your search for a publisher.                            Sincerely,                            Donna Cozzaglio                            Editorial Department                            I. E.
