"        Wicked and provocative. . . . Vidal's purview of Hollywood in one of its golden ages is fascinating." --Tom Tryon "        Vidal succeeds in making his history alive and plausible." --The New York Times "        Vidal's originality derives from his as- surance that he can create and command the American history of his novels, as much as he can their imaginary components. No other American writer I know of has Vidal's sense of national proprietorship. He summons the entire American scene into his confident voice. Vidal's presump- tions work marvelously well for his intentions." --Richard Poirier, The New York Review of Books Also available from the Modern Library: Burr  ¸  Lincoln  ¸  1876  ¸ Empire  ¸  Washington, D.C., "        Wicked and provocative. . . .

Synopsis
"Wicked and provocative...Vidal's purview of Hollywood in one of its golden ages is fascinating." --Chicago Tribune In his brilliant and dazzling new novel, Gore Vidal sweeps us into one of the most fascinating periods of American political and social change. The time is 1917. In Washington, President Wilson is about to lead the United States into the Great War. In California, a new industry is born that will transform America: moving pictures. Here is history as only Gore Vidal can re-create it: brimming with intrigue and scandal, peopled by the greats of the silver screen and American politics, from Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks to Franklin D. Roosevelt and the author's own grandfather, the blind Senator Gore. With Hollywood, Vidal once again proves himself a superb storyteller and a perceptive chronicler of human nature's endless deceptions., "Wicked and provocative...Vidal's purview of Hollywood in one of its golden ages is fascinating." -Chicago Tribune In his brilliant and dazzling new novel, Gore Vidal sweeps us into one of the most fascinating periods of American political and social change.

    I have received this order a few days ago, well before the earliest promised delivery date. The item corresponds to the seller's description: it is in "like new" condition. The transaction was seamless.I am completely satisfied with this purchase. The only peculiar aspect is that I wrote to the seller several times, both before and after ordering, and never received a response. This is at odds with all reviews of this seller.

    The item is in great shape. As described. It took about 21 days to arrive here in Kansas. Not sure where it shipped from. But free shipping can mean longer wait time -sometimes. It arrive safe in these plastic white shipping bags. *Did purchase another item already because price and suggestion was timely for it. Thanks so much. Good job. Recommended seller! if you don't mind wait time. But get good deal! Thx again!
