Jack Madigan should be leading an enviable life. He''s the sole heir of a ''70s rock icon. He lives with his retro-obsessed teenage son, Harlan, in a once-magnificent Boston town house. But now 36, Jack''s painting career is buckling under a raging case of agoraphobia. And when the foreclosure notice arrives, Jack must face losing the only home he''s ever known--and his only safe zone. When Jack''s ex-wife announces that Harlan would be better off living with her and her vitamin-enriched fiance, Jack has to figure out how to deter the perky, inexperienced real-estate agent, hold on to his house, keep his son at home, and--through the tenacity of the little girl next door--finally step out onto the sidewalk. Fox 2000 swooped in to pre-empt the film rights while Town House was still on submission to publishers. Ridley Scott''s Scott Free Productions is set to produce the movie and Pulitzer Prize-winning screenwriter Doug Wright ( Memoirs of a Geisha ) is adapting the screenplay. A book with the ability to both entertain and move us, Town House is a smart, acerbic novel bursting with heart and quirky charm.
