STAGE & SCREEN BOOK OF THE YEAR — SUNDAY TIMES (LONDON)
CHOSEN AMONG THE BEST BOOKS OF 2017 BY THE SPECTATOR (UK), THE HERALD (GLASGOW), THE IRISH EXAMINER
“In a brisk, frothy narrative….Levy has a passion for mid-century Italian cinema and is at his best when writing about its giants.” – The Wall Street Journal
“Uproariously readable….[Levy] tells some terrific, if dreadful, stories about the convergence of noblemen and actresses….He is a master of the group biography, pacing his chapters for maximum suspense and revelation….The climactic story is a humdinger….Wickedly readable.” – The Sunday Times (London)
“Levy’s absorbing, well-researched book exalts the intoxicating, beguiling dreaminess of Rome in its celluloid heyday.” – Times Literary Supplement
“Levy recounts with enthusiasm and color….the excitement of that time and place in a prose style that is teeming with satisfying gossipy details.” – The Guardian
“Dolce Vita Confidential is so much fun that after a few pages you’ll want to set it aside, tie on a chic little scarf, jump on a Vespa, and cry ‘ciao’ as you buzz past corner cafes and flower stands.” – Portland Tribune
“Over 400 spirited and frothy pages, [Levy] carries us on a speedy Vespa ride….the book delights.” – Portland Mercury
“This is an exciting account of a revolution in art and society.” – The Spectator
“Levy’s research is deep and his details are revealing….[he] chronicles Fellini and Mastroianni’s collaboration with insight and affection.” – Newsday
