Four novels are included in this book. From the Preface to this edition by Gore Vidal -"Recently, a serious if not solemn critic came to my defense. I did indeed deal, he wrote, with the nonruling class in my comic novels, where young people attend Academies of Drama and Modeling in order to study Posture and Empathy (Myra Breckenridge and Myron) or take up with end-of-the-world gurus (Kalki) or, best of all, live alternative lives as they move, literally, from channel to channel on their TV screens in the imaginary city of Duluth, a stone's throw from New Orleans on the Mexican border." Police chiefs, polo players, . . .and Aztec terrorists abound in the pages of these novels, of which the most celebrated, even in the United States of Amnesia, is Myra Breckinridge. Cover is white, has a small dent at the top left corner, and a ghost of a label on the front. 887 pages.
