For some readers, Brian Morton may still be an undiscovered treasure. He won't be for long. --\u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIsaac and Nora haven't seen each other in five years, yet when Nora phones Isaac late one night, he knows who it is before she speaks. The two rediscover their love, and Nora, a writer, is soon on fire with the best work she has ever done. Absorbed by her writing, she doesn't realize at first that her story is a fictionalized portrait of Isaac, exposing his frailties and compromises, sure to be viewed by him as a betrayal. The conflict tests the limits of their relationship and raises deeply complex questions about how we remain faithful to our calling if it estranges us from the people we love. \u003cp\u003eAn absolute pleasure.  -- \u003ci\u003eSeattle Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrian Morton is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Dylanist\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStarting Out in the Evening\u003c\/i\u003e.
