Once the brave new voice of the NY literary scene, writer turned professor Ruth Steiner has resigned into a rather insulated life in her cozy Greenwich Village apartment. That comfortable but lonely life is upended when Ruth engages Lisa Morrison, a promising but insecure young writer as her assistant. Over six years, told in six scenes, Lisa evolves from fawning admirer to protégé and colleague and the women develop a deep friendship. Ultimately, the personal and the professional collide as Lisa's career ambitions take her down a path that leads to devastating consequences. As always, Pulitzer Prize-winner Donald Margulies tells this provocative story in his literate yet grounded and witty style.making us think yes, but more importantly, drawing us into the world of these engaging people and making us feel even more.
