In this latest collection of his essays, Gore Vidal displays his unparalleled range and inimitable style as he deals with matters literary, historical, personal and political.
Included are warm (and shrewd) appreciations of Edmund Wilson, Frank Sinatra, and Mark Twain; polemical observations on Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, JFK and his cousin Al Gore, the American empire and the 11 September attacks; his essay in dispraise of the works of John Updike; his controversial defence of Charles Lindbergh; and his extraordinary article on the death of Timothy McVeigh.
Nobody makes the fur fly in a more elegant and civilized fashion than Gore Vidal. He is our indispensable man.
