Falling somewhere between the realms of Henry Adams and all of
Monty Python, Gore Vidal has for many years served as America''s own
Tiesias - a seer and scourge, as well as an entertainer of the
highest order. Jay McInerney
內容簡介：
It is a risky and risque business becoming ''Woman
Triumphant'' - exercising total power over men like Rusty Godowski.
Rusty just wants to be a Hollywood star like everyone else at Buck
Loner''s academy, but now that Buck''s niece, Myra Breckinridge, has
arrived, the curriculum is taking a wildly strange turn. Willing to
risk all to be superb and unique, Myra means to prove to her old
friend Dr Montag that it is possible to work out in life all one''s
fantasies - and survive. ''From Myra''s fist appearnce on the page
she was a megastar'', explains her creator, Gore Vidal. Myra caused
a second furore when she returned in Myron to battle it out with
her eponymous alter ego, a drab little man fallen into marriage and
a job in Chinese catering. Theirs is a contest of hormonal
roulette, with glorious Myra off on time-travelling missions of
mercy back to 1948 to try to change cinema history and to introduce
her own radical theories of popuation control. Meanwhile Myron
tries desperately to stay in the present as inconspicuously as Mrya
will allow.
