An Ivy League graduate is pressed casually into Intelligence work and encounters himself mirrored in his new-found friend--a Russian spy. An arrogant professor finds himself unable to resist the unschooled energy of a spunky female student. A lonely apprentice at a New York law firm is flattered by the attentions of two mentors--one a senior partner, the other an enchantingly extravagant woman--whose sophistication make his own naivety painfully apparent. Each story in this luminous quartet explorers an emotional turning-point, either toward or away from self-knowledge--that moment when a young man of privilege suddenly finds his carefully nurtured superiority crumbling. In Casey’s beautiful prose, the experiences of these solitary narrators resonate with remarkable power. 430079 13 12 2005 Testimony and Demeanor total:9|5:5|4:4| 9 41 17 3 4 0 false false Tue Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 16:32:54 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 18:57:43 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Nov 24 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Oct 09 08:52:18 -0700 2007 Sun Feb 24 07:36:14 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 22 20:04:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 14 19:07:38 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 17:08:42 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 17:08:42 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 02 08:30:39 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 08:30:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 04 00:24:37 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 00:24:37 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 01 19:38:52 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 19:38:52 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jun 09 18:00:54 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 09 18:00:54 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Apr 17 16:44:42 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 17 16:44:48 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Apr 16 06:24:02 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 06:24:02 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Oct 28 00:00:00 -0700 1979 Fri Apr 11 20:40:29 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 11 20:40:58 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Mar 02 10:18:44 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 02 10:18:44 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jan 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 11:35:48 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 11:35:48 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Oct 04 20:10:46 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 20:10:46 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Tue Sep 18 14:21:29 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 03 12:44:04 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Sep 04 21:58:13 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 21:58:13 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Thu Jul 05 17:42:20 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 05 17:42:20 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=441289
