Gore Vidal | The Last Empire
Gore Vidal | The Last Empire
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.
