The plot starts with the sudden revelation by Marlene Parker to her close friend Claire that she had been the secret love of Marlon Brando. Although the analysis of Marlon's character as the troubled soul who can't find peace even in death is at the core of the story, there is more, much more to make this novel intriguing and captivate the audience. Marlene, Claire and Charlie are all old Hollywood characters residing at a Home for the elderly. Remembering the days of their past glory inside the Hollywood circle, many secrets are revealed. The circumstances of the characters' life might at first look extraordinary in comparison to our much more modest lifestyle but in the end how they coped with success and its demands, lack of real love, socially necessary compromise that often comes with a high price, betrayal, emotional threat can inspire all of us in dealing with the same kind of demanding situations at one point or another of our life.

Mark J. Petrini, Mark Petrini, Books, Fiction and Literature, The Child and the Hero: Coming of Age in Catullus and Vergil, Many generations of readers have noticed the prominence given to children and to heroes--usually young men--in the poems of Vergil and his contemporary Catullus. But until now it has not always been clear why Vergil and Catullus employ these characters, or what readers are to make of these sometimes odd figures.In The Child and the Hero: Coming of Age in Catullus and Vergil, Mark Petrini thoughtfully explores this group of characters and helps illuminate their places in the poems. After offering a brief introduction describing the world in which such characters find themselves, the author studies in greater detail the key figures of Pallas, Nisus and Euryalus, and Iulus--in whom the future of Rome lies. Readers learn the links between these figures and literary characters who come before and after, and the author thus helps the reader perceive the many levels on which Vergilian and Catullan poems resonate.This volume will be an important companion for all readers of Vergil both in English and in Latin, as well as for those interested in literary characterization and literary presentation of marginal figures.Mark Petrini is Assistant Professor of Classics, Columbia University.
