This review is from: Two Weeks in Another Town (Paperback)

In the 1950's, reading was still a major pastime in America and the mainstream novel was what people read. An ex-movie star takes the two weeks to help closest friend from his glory days finish a movie. It is an obligation, a chance to pay a debt, but it is also an opportunity to escape for a moment a life that has become to routine, and see if he made the right choice when he traded the demands of art for the stability of a normal life.

A crazy film genius, two actresses stretching their muscles, a group of financiers, a girl who lives to party (or does she?). They twist and turn and each of them tries to make sense of their life and the life around them. Which way they wind up facing might surprise you.
