Gore Vidal''s reputation as America''s finest essayist is an
enduring one. This collection, chosen by the author from 40 years
of work, contains about two-thirds of what he published in various
magazines and journals. He has divided the essays into three
categories, or states. State of the art covers literature,
including novelists and critics, bestsellers, pieces on Henry
James, Oscar Wilde, Suetonius, Nabakov and Montaigne a previosly
uncollected essay from 1992. State of the union deals with
politics and public life: sex, drugs, money, Abraham Lincoln,
Eleanor Roosevelt, The Holy Family his essay on the Kennedys,
Nixon, and finally Monotheism and its Discontents , a scathing
critique of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. In state of being, we
are given personal responses to people and events: recollections of
his childhood, E. Nesbit, Tarzan, Tennessee Williams and Anais
Nin.
