Heather Wolfe is an attractive graduate student in her twenties. She read Schiller&rsquo;s novels when she was growing up and they changed her life. When the ambitious Heather decides to write her master&rsquo;s thesis about Schiller&rsquo;s work and sets out to meet him&mdash;convinced she can bring Schiller back into the literary world&rsquo;s spotlight&mdash;the unexpected consequences of their meeting alter everything in Schiller&rsquo;s ordered life. What follows is a quasi-romantic friendship and intellectual engagement that investigates the meaning of art, fame, and personal connection. &ldquo;Nothing less than a triumph,&rdquo; <I>Starting Out in the Evening</I> is Brian Morton&rsquo;s most widely acclaimed novel to date (<I>The New York Times Book Review</I>).</DIV>
