Memories of an almost legendary figure, winner of the Nobel prize, fabulously wealthy, married to the calm, impressively dignified Celeste Hall-a giant worthy of the acclaim that he had received. But to Nicky the only person who knew the whole story of Scott, the banquet brought back somewhat different thoughts, for Nicky remembered Scott when he was Louis Scotosi, milkman an waiter, a shy, insignificant man who wrote plays for his beautiful, amoral wife, Susan. Nicky had been in love, with all the callow passion of his twenty years, with Susan Scotosi. A great many men had been in love with Susan, but it was Louis who took care of her, who washed her clothes and ironed them, who waited for her outside of speakeasies, who took her home and put her to bed." Set in New York in the 1920s. The book was later reprinted as both The Untamed Wife of Louis Scott and as a pulp novel The Lessons of Love. Illustrator: . Quantity Available: 1.
