Who could possibly resist a novel that begins as William Randolph Hearst falls on his behind? The fifth novel in Gore Vidal’s Narratives of Empire sequence (sixth, however, in order of publication) begins on the eve of American involvement in the First World War and ends shortly after the mysterious death of Warren G. Harding and ascension of the taciturn Calvin Coolidge to the presidency. Balanced against Gore’s descriptions of all these political machinations is the story of newspaper publisher Caroline Sanford’s foray into film acting, which places her in proximity to the scandals involving Roscoe «Fatty» Arbuckle and William Desmond Taylor. The cast of characters includes a young Franklin Delano Roosevelt–and his mistress, Lucy Mercer–and Vidal’s maternal grandfather, Senator T.P. Gore. As always, the proceedings are enlivened by Vidal’s caustic wit. –Ron Hogan
