Book Synopsis
On a cold, rainy night, an aging bachelor named George Ticknor prepares to visit his childhood friend Prescott, a successful man who is now one of the leading intellectual lights of their generation. He sets out for the Prescotts' dinner party - a party at which he'd just as soon never arrive.

Trade Review
"The rancorous, interminable friendship between a Great man and his envious, self-pitying biographer drives this cleverly coiled narrative..... As deliciously intimate and clue-riddled as a Poe story." Publishers Weekly"
