Summary:

Russo's characters in these four expansive stories bear little similarity to the blue-collar citizens we're familiar with from many of his novels.
In "Horseman," a young professor confronts an undergraduate plagiarist as well as her own weaknesses as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches.
In "Intervention," a realtor facing an ominous medical prognosis finds himself in his father's shadow as he presses forward... or not.
In "Voice," a semi-retired academic is conned by his estranged brother into coming along on a group tour of the Venice Biennale, fleeing a traumatizing incident with a student back in Massachusetts but encountering further complications.
In "Milton and Marcus," a lapsed novelist's attempt to rekindle his occcasionally sustaining screenwriting career depends wholly, at a crucial moment, on two Hollywood icons -- one living, the other dead -- in whose hands his dignity and self-esteem, not to mention his wife's survival, now rest.
