Beautiful Ruins, Jess Walter

Edward Hopper, People in the Sun
(November 24) Liked the story, liked the narrative structure: everyone is writing a book or a screenplay or a play or a memoir or a movie treatment... some people's lives are being turned into movies or books as soon as they live them and some people are living stories that came out of books or movies... basically, it's all these stories going on... plus the overlay of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor (the history of whose relationship I just read and I think this author did too).

Liked all the stories. Wanted a separate novel for each one.
