Loading... Foolscap: Or, The Stages of Loveby Michael Malone
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. Meet Theo Ryan, the product of the union between a famous actor and a famous singer. Despite his parents's lime lights, all Ryan wants to do is quietly teach Renaissance drama at a North Carolina university and write in his spare time. All that goes out the window when he agrees to write the authorized biography for Joshua "Ford" Rexford, an insanely popular playwright, womanizer and drunk. Nothing about Theo Ryan's life will ever be the same after Rexford infiltrates his quiet existence. Suddenly, Theo is an actor, a singer, and he's about to unleash his own work of art on the world, a fantastic play he's kept private for years... (  ) SeriousGrace | Nov 26, 2018 |  I tried this book but it seemed pretentious and uninteresting, and I could not make myself go past the first 50 pages. It's a novel about a contentious English faculty in a small private college, but I can't tell you much more than that. (  ) wareagle78 | Mar 19, 2014 | no reviews | add a review
Professor Theo Ryan lives a quiet life teaching drama at Cavendish University in North Carolina, but everything gets turned upside down when he meets Ford Rexford--America's best-known playwright. Ford is the most talented and the most impossible man Theo has ever met. And Ford's genius, his reckless romanticism, and his fearless love of life profoundly influence the reticent scholar. When Ford discovers that Theo has written a play, a madcap journey begins that pushes the young recluse out of the wings onto the bright, bustling stages of life and love. There he finds himself playing roles he never would have thought possible. In his most hilarious book since Handling Sin, Michael Malone has created a story as wildly funny as it is profoundly wise.
