Bens own literary career is in the doldrums, and he tries to revive it by publishing and writing about his dead friend, whose reimagining of Byrons lost memoirs-titled Childish Loves-may provide a key to Sullivans own life and tarnished reputation.Acting as a literary sleuth, Ben sorts through boxes of Sullivans writing; reads between the lines of his scandalous, Byron-inspired stories; meets with the Society for the Publication of the Dead; and tracks down people from Peters past in an effort to untangle rumor from reality. In the process, he crafts a masterful story-within-a-story that turns on uncomfortable questions about childhood and sexual awakening, innocence and attraction, while exploring the lives of three very different writers and their brushes with success and failure in both literature and life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856003531040,"sku":"NEW0393330230","price":33.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71z52dhhKWL.jpg?v=1781545045","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/childish-loves-a-novel-0393330230","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
