A landmark collection of critical prose from one of America's most celebrated intellectuals, Matters of Fact and of Fiction presents Gore Vidal at his most incisive and entertaining. Acclaimed by the New Statesman as America's finest essayist, Vidal brings his razor-sharp wit and formidable erudition to bear on a wide range of subjects, from American politics and power to literature, culture, and the nature of public life. The essays chronicle the cultural and political landscape of mid-twentieth-century America with a combination of savage irony and elegant precision that few writers can match. Argumentative, provocative, and consistently brilliant, this collection illustrates why Vidal remains an indispensable voice in American letters.
