Description: As a reporter for New York's last evening tabloid, Marie Brown ì writes about the bizarre and the scandalous. But her life is ì hardly either. She's too single, too tall, and too pragmatic for ì anything other than her routine-which consists of going to work ì and going to the library, where she indulges in her one passion, ì physics, and in conversations with Marco Trentadue, the strange ì "freelance intellectual" in blue pajamas. Then the trajectory of ì her life takes an unexpected turn.

Nora Mars-glamour girl, star of stage and screen-is near ì death. Marie has worshipped Nora since she was in high school. ì Naturally she will write Nora's obit. When Marie meets Nora's ì charismatic third ex-husband for an interview, she struggles ì between a reporter's integrity and plain old lust. What Marie ì uncovers is a story of a starlet who took the exigencies of fame ì into her own hands-and the inspiration to do the same with her ì own love life.
