A recent college graduate accompanies a reclusive middle-aged writer on a chaotic road trip to Milan in this hilarious, heartwarming novel about love, friendship, and the pitfalls of nostalgia In 1995 Vittorio Vezzosi rose to worldwide acclaim with his debut novel, The Wolves Inside. Unfortunately for his adoring fans--and his publisher--he wouldn't write another word. Instead, the great author shut himself away in a farmhouse overlooking Florence. After twenty-five years of silence, however, a corporate takeover lights the fire under Vittorio to produce a new novel, and bright young classics graduate Emiliano De Vito is hired to assist him. Off to a rocky start, the odd couple embark on a madcap journey in a 1979 Jeep--without a roof or windshield or doors--to Milan, where Vittorio will speak to a crowd of thousands. As they travel across Italy, bonding over wine and women, and butting heads over the struggles Emiliano's generation inherited from Vittorio's, the two begin to see the world, and writing, in a different way.
