Summer 1983, Rimini.

Against the crowded panorama of the Adriatic Riviera, dazzling with its neon lights and promised pleasures, seven lives intersect.

A young journalist on his first important assignment, determined to unravel a web of political corruption.

A woman searching for her runaway teenage sister - and a new life after the end of her marriage.

A gossip columnist who follows the dramatic unfolding of an international literary prize.

A lonely musician, seeking solace amidst the clubs and discos that throng Rimini's beachfront strip.

A pair of penniless film directors who hatch a harebrained scheme to finance their dreams.

And the owner of a crumbling hotel, whose bad fortunes will drive him to desperate lengths.

An electrifying portrait of the simmering world of grifters, hedonists, dreamers and crooks who set the Italian Riviera of the 1980s alight, Rimini is a dazzling masterpiece of contemporary fiction, now translated into English for the first time.

Pier Vittorio Tondelli was born in Correggio in 1955 and died in 1991. He made his debut in 1980 with Altri libertini, which was followed in 1982 by Pao Pao. In 1985 he published the novel Rimini, followed by Biglietti agli amici in 1986 and Separate Rooms in 1989.
