It's weirdly insightful. Take the editor, for example: before diving into this one, he'd already read not one, not two, but three Chosie books-and still went for a fourth. That's when he realized he might be a masochist. He also learned (through repeated emotional breakdowns) which corners of his office are home to spiders, so he knows exactly where to curl up and cry. (In case you were wondering, it's the northeast corner. He named the spiders Jacques, Beyoncé, and Lord Byron.) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eStill not convinced?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCue the drumroll... here comes the summary.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this \u003ci\u003eactual\u003c\/i\u003e fourth installment of \u003ci\u003eWhat Chosie Knows\u003c\/i\u003e-yes, the fourth, not a prequel, not a sequel to a prequel, not whatever other narrative gymnastics Mr. Powers has tried to pull-Chosie takes on the classic \"American in Paris\" trope.
