The House Beautiful

By Allison Burnett

The House Beautiful tells the story of a fateful summer when Adrian Malloy, 22, arrives at the door of B.K. Troop, lugging a suitcase and dragging a garbage bag crammed with what B.K. presumes to be odes and sonnets. Overjoyed to have landed a new poet, B.K. sweeps Adrian into his artists' colony and under his wing. Although Adrian is the spitting image of John Keats, he is not, in fact, a poet. He is merely an astronomy student who has sought out B.K. for very private reasons, which he is reluctant to reveal. At once hilarious, romantic, wise, and lunatic, The House Beautiful tells the story not only of B.K.'s emerging friendship with Adrian, but of all the artists' adventures that summer, as they struggle to make art and love.
