Reviews" 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. . . .
