Reseña del libro "gore vidal ` s america"
gore vidal is one of the most significant american writers of the second half of the twentieth century, having produced a large number of best selling novels, essays, plays and pamphlets which have impacted on major political and social debates for fifty years. he is both a serious writer and a television and movie celebrity, whose increasingly acerbic picture of the united states guarantees he is both revered and reviled. gore vidal ` s america examines the ways in which vidal ` s writings on history, politics, sex and religion throw into focus our understandings of the united states, but also recognizes his versatility and inventiveness as a creative writer, some of whose novels - julian; myra breckinridge; lincoln; duluth - are among the important literary works of their time. ranging from vidal ` s early defence of homosexuality in the city and the pillar (1948) to his most recent writings on the war in iraq, this book provides a unique perspective on the evolution of post-world war ii american society, politics and literature. as altman writes: difficult not to see in the results of the 2004 elections, where the republican right gained in both the white house and the senate, proof of vidal ` s worse fears, namely that the impact of imperial adventure, big money and religious moralism would increasingly imperil the american republic.
