Overview
The characters in these four expansive stories are a departure from the blue-collar denizens that populate so many of Richard RussoÆs novels; and all are bound together by parallel moments of reckoning with their pasts. In ôHorseman,ö a young professor confronts an undergraduate plagiaristùas well as her own regrets. In ôIntervention,ö a realtor facing a serious medical prognosis finds himself in his late fatherÆs shadow. ôVoiceö gives us a semiretired academic who is conned by his estranged brother into joining a group tour of the Venice Biennale. And ôMilton and Marcusö takes us into a lapsed novelistÆs attempt to rekindle his screenwriting careerùa career that depends wholly, at a crucial moment, on two Hollywood icons (one living, one dead). Shot through with RussoÆs inimitable humor, wisdom, and surprise, Trajectory is the work of a masterful writer continuing to discover new heights.
