Beschreibung
Fine condition blue boards/dark blue cloth spine/gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Dedication and Preliminary Page Quote by Ambrose Bierce. "John Gregory Dunne's The Red White and Blue is his most ambitious, most compelling novel to date. The acclaimed author.creates a stunning panorama of modern America from the early sixties to the present day, a work as vibrant, passionate, and intriguing as the era it so brilliantly depicts. By turns frightening and hilarious, [the book is the author's] supreme tour de force. Meet the Brodericks of San Francisco and the world, a family whose fortune is so vast The New York Times uses charts to illustrated their holdings. "Citizens of the world of celebrity," they are prime targets for photographers - and assassins. Their story unfolds through the eyes of Jack Broderick, a reporter on his father's paper who becomes a Hollywood screenwriter. His father, Hugh, is an influential man who has turned down cabinet posts with three presidents. "Bro," the elder son, has rejected the family's "almost billion" dollars and is now the most prominent priest in the country. Leah, Jack's first ex-wife, is a dynamic lawyer immersed in radical causes - and loved by all three Broderick men. It is Leah's volatile presence that ultimately changes all their lives, as Jack's actions inadvertently bring about the startling climax. With all the drama, ribald humor, and tragedy of two turbulent decades of conflicts and contrasts, [the book] is a vivid and unforgettable reading experience, a bold portrait of a family - and a nation - besieged by history." - from the inner front jacket flap.
