Jane SMILEY ... Ten Days in the Hills (2007)

BY DELVING INTO the artifice and superficiality of lives in her new dialogue-driven satirical novel, Ten Days in the Hills (Knopf, February 2007), a contemporary retelling of Giovanni Boccaccio’s medieval classic, The Decameron, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jane Smiley captures the narcissistic profundity of life and love in the Hollywood hills.
