Review
A marvellous specimen of parodic invention. (THE OBSERVER)
Vidal's prose is a jangling mixture of Hollywood tough talk, biblical jargon and rampant camp. His japes at the expense of religion, history and taste add up to a work of highly serious humour. Iconoclasm at its most challenging and witty. (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
Wonderfully outrageous (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
in the tradition of MYRA BRECKENBRIDGE, MYRON and DULUTH, but more pointed and more daring. (FINANCIAL TIMES)
