Duluth

Duluth

Gore Vidal
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Perhaps Vidal's most outrageous novel, this is an indescribable fantasy purportedly set in the city of Duluth & involving a tv show also named "Duluth" , a spaceship that has landed nearby, the antics of a policewoman, Darlene Ecks, & much else.
"A wild spoof of absolutely everything: social pretenses, law enforcement, marriage, open marriage, racism, literature, tv, science fiction, and sex. Dozens of plots perk along at an amazing pace...raunchy, dirty, outrageous, rife with cliches--& often very funny."--People
"One of the most brilliant, most radical, & most subversive pieces of writing to emerge from America in recent years."--The New Statesman
"Vidal belongs to that group of writers of our time who, precisely because they have always kept their eyes open to the disorders & distortions of our age, have chosen irony, humor, comedy--in other words, the whole range of literary instruments belonging to the universe of the laugh--as their means of settling accounts."--Italo Calvino
