About this title

Synopsis

Published to celebrate his 70th birthday, the memoirs of the American writer, from his childhood as the grandson of a blind southern senator, through to the establishment of his literary career in 1964.

Review

An engrossing and beguiling read. Admirably candid, refreshingly indiscreet, intelligent and full of wit, it is also startlingly original...And unequivocal triumph. (William Boyd, DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOKS OF THE YEAR)

He does not narrate his life: he revies it. The result is something quite novel and wonderfully appealing, a critical biography of himself...Vidal's life might even be his greatest work. (INDEPENDENT)

Wonderfully entertaining. You want the high-level political gossip? You get it here... it offers all the zing of a Dry Martini without the danger of getting drunk. (DAILY TELEGRAPH)

PALIMPSEST is a tremendous read, down and dirty from start to finish. It is also a proud and serious and truthful book... (SUNDAY TIMES)
