Did someone mention a golden age? Don't forget this one. Currie does about as good a job of channeling David Foster Wallace (without looking at all like he's mimmicking) as anyone I've read. Just a brilliant performance. He slides in and out of various voices with a sickening degree of ease. This book deserves to be every bit as big as some of the recent heavy-hitters.

High praise indeed. I'll put it in the queue behind Freedom.

Very well written, amusing dialog between Libanius and Priscus, though I do think Vidal makes Libanius out to be a bit more whiny than I sensed from his writing.

Having just done a lengthy paper on Julian, it's interesting to see what he decides to focus on and how he tried to portray the emperor (a bit too favourably I think, but then so was I according to my supervisors)

Reminded me of the time my father-in-law saw me reading one of Victor Davis Hanson's books on Democracy: "they make you read that stuff in grad school....or is that pleasure readin'?"

He said it with such distaste! I've never met such a successful person who so hated reading.
