With a hastily baked pie in his hands, and a lifetime of guilt and insecurity weighing upon his soul, he sets out for the Prescotts' dinner party--a party at which he'd just as soon never arrive. Distantly inspired by the real-life friendship between the great historian William Hickling Prescott and his biographer, \u003ci\u003eTicknor\u003c\/i\u003e is a witty, fantastical study of resentment; and a biting history of a one-sided friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSheila Heti\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Middle Stories, \u003c\/i\u003e which was published by \u003ci\u003eMcSweeney's\u003c\/i\u003e and has been translated into German, French, Spanish, and Dutch.
