Jack Andrews goes to Rome for two weeks to help his old friend, the film director Maurice Delaney, make a new movie—and to relive his youth. Once upon a time in Rome, Jack was happy—but what will be waiting for him there now? What will the meeting of two old friends be like after many years? Will Jack manage to undo past failures and mistakes?
“Two Weeks in Another City” is a novel about love and hate, about a person’s loneliness and his desire to understand himself. Here you’ll find many things: a late passion of an older man for a young woman, a “midlife crisis” with its revaluation of values and wish to return to the “beautiful” past, the “fair of vanities” of the film business and the clash of ambitions, a powerful surge of creativity and backstage intrigue— and these themes will likely remain relevant forever.
