The #1 New York Times bestseller, now available in paperback--Jess Walter's "absolute masterpiece" (Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author): the story of an almost-love affair that begins on the Italian coast in 1962 and resurfaces fifty years later in contemporary Hollywood.

The acclaimed, award-winning author of the national bestseller The Financial Lives of the Poets returns with his funniest, most romantic, and most purely enjoyable novel yet. Hailed by critics and loved by readers of literary and historical fiction, Beautiful Ruins is the story of an almost-love affair that begins on the Italian coast in 1962...and is rekindled in Hollywood fifty years later.

Review:
"A literary miracle."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air

"A novel with pathos, piercing wit and, most important, the generous soul of a literary classic. . . . Walter has planted himself firmly in the first rank of American authors."--Boston Globe

"A monument to crazy love . . . Walter [is] a believer in capricious destiny with a fine, freewheeling sense of humor."--New York Times

"Walter vividly draws a world both tender and cutthroat, where ambition battles reality, daydreams fight doldrums and sometimes win."--Interview

"A marvel, an absolute gem of a beach read that is both hilarious and heartbreaking."--Huffington Post

"Entrancing...Walter's turns of phrase are as brilliant as his plot twists, making for a compelling, fun read."--People

"Beautiful . . . A shining, imaginative tale . . . Beautiful Ruins shows novelists how it is done."--The Plain Dealer

"A beautiful narrative . . . This writer is a genius of the modern American moment."--Philadelphia Inquirer

"This is a blockbuster, with romance, majesty, comedy, smarts, and a cast of thousands. There's lights, there's camera, there's action. If you want anything more from a novel than Jess Walter gives you in Beautiful Ruins, you're getting thrown out of the theater."--Daniel Handler, author of Why We Broke Up and creator of Lemony Snicket

"Within a page-turner of a plot, these triumphantly vulnerable characters leap off the page to take up permanent residence in your inner life. The effect is so powerful that to be untouched by Beautiful Ruins might well be like having no inner life at all."--Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of 36 Arguments for the Existence of God: A Work of Fiction
From the Back Cover:

From the moment it opens--on a rocky patch of Italian coastline, circa 1962, when a daydreaming young innkeeper looks out over the water and spies a mysterious woman approaching him on a boat--Jess Walter's Beautiful Ruins is a dazzling, yet deeply human, roller coaster of a novel. From the lavish set of Cleopatra to the shabby revelry of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, to the back lots of contemporary Hollywood, Beautiful Ruins is gloriously inventive and constantly surprising--a story of flawed yet fascinating people navigating the rocky shores of their lives while clinging to their improbable dreams.
