...book introduces seven formally related dialogues, conversations between distant and disembodied voices that lapse into parallel monologues and back again.

He also learned to hate the way law students stabbed each other to succeed at it. In Osborn's new expose. The Associates, Samuel Weston, fresh from Harvard Law School, shares those passions. In Weston's lofty view, work at Bass and Marshall is grinding, trivial and dehumanizing, especially when it interferes with Sam's love for another associate, Camilla Newman.
