Why read it?

1 author picked Two Weeks in Another Town as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

With strange echoes of today’s New York City, Irwin Shaw’s 1962 novel starts with a once-famous actor being punched in the face for no reason after arriving in Rome to do a looping job. While the overwritten story goes downhill from there, it takes a riveting look at Italy’s La Dolce Vita atmosphere, with characters reportedly based on Tyrone Power and Darryl Zanuck.

From Laurence's list on Hollywood murder, crime, and failure.
