Gore Vidal's new collection of essays shows him still writing at his finest. His comments on the deplorable state of American politics - from Bill Clinton to George Bush - are as apposite as ever and, controversially, there are two magnificent essays on the Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh - who entered into an extraordinary correspondence with Vidal when he was in gaol - to the recent terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
- 'A collection of Gore Vidal's essays is always welcome, for wit, insight and passion rarely seen elsewhere in print.' SUNDAY TRIBUNE
- 'The century's finest essayist' SPECTATOR
- 'A class act…a few hours in his company is still a panacea for all ills' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
- 'Vidal's combination of learning, wit and disdain gets into your blood. He can change the way you think' OBSERVER
