A journalist has charmed and seduced his way through the lavish nightclubs of Rome for decades. Since the legendary success of his one and only novel, he's been a permanent figure in the city's literary and social circles, but when his sixty-fifth birthday coincides with a shock from the past, he finds himself unexpectedly taking stock of his life, turning his cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the extravagant nightclubs, parties and cafes to find Rome in all its glory; a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty.
