With mercurial intelligence and often courageous - and outrageous! - forthrightness, Vidal explores his keystone subjects: primarily the worlds of literature and US politics; but also showbiz, sexuality and modern manners. His gaze ranges from the fiction of Calvino and Updike to the politics of pornography to the Clinton and Bush administrations, America post-September 11 and contemporary imperial ambitions. These essays are a witty and brilliant assessment of our times from the most memorable of American literary masters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette UK","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47292113911959,"sku":"9780349120454","price":510.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780349120454.webp?v=1773398710","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/selected-essays-9780349120454","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
