If you love the ancient charms
of the Italian coast on the Ligurian
Sea, if you long for Edinburgh and
its cold rain and distant hot sun,
and if you love stories of the
dream factory that is Hollywood,
you will not be able to part from
this book until you are finished
reading it. Even then, for months
afterward, you’ll keep it close so
you can reread a passage here
and there that moved you.
It’s all here, the illusion and reality,
the joy and the shame of the
creative life, of life itself. The
ingenue Dee, the producer
Michael, and the D-girl Claire
take you into the world of making
movies, the expectations and
disappointments, and in an
ingenious turn, the author pins the
hem of the action with real
Hollywood stars, Elizabeth Taylor
and Richard Burton, who are
engaging in a drama of their own
in Rome.
Jess Walter has quietly and
expertly built a career over six
novels that puts him at the
forefront of great American
writers. Beautiful Ruins is the
emerald among the pearls.
