Gore Vidal's ninth collection features a series of incisive essays that showcase his sharp intellect and wit, addressing diverse topics ranging from notable figures like Clare Boothe Luce and Charles Lindbergh to critical discussions on civil liberties and terrorism. His controversial take on the Bill of Rights initiated a dialogue with Timothy McVeigh, while his analyses of literary giants and political figures provide a rich exploration of America's evolving identity. Written during a pivotal political era, this collection serves as a reflective commentary on the American dream's complexities.
