    I can't believe this intricate and beautiful story was concocted in Jess Walter's head and put to paper for the world to enjoy. It amazes me that such complicated plot lines and characters could be interwoven so skillfully. Walter's writing style is gorgeous, with an excellent turn of a phrase and wit and humour, along with a deep, deep awareness and empathy for the sadness for the human condition. His description of life in Italy, as well as the empty life of an L.A. movie mogul, is insightful and inspiring. I loved this story and have subsequently bought 3 copies to pass on to friends!
