Produktbeschreibung
Only paperback edition of an autobiographical novel, first published in 1949, upon which Vidal's bestselling "Palimpsest" is based. Growing up in the house of his Vice President grandfather, the hero of the novel grapples with various young obsessions, from politics and adolescent love - both heterosexual and homosexual - to career aspirations and family relations.
A novel based on the emotional conflict centered around a son's urge to sever the pshychological umbilical cord which ties him to a selfish and possessive mother. Completely unsympathetic to his young experiences and inclinations, forever critical of his interests and reactions, she nevertheless appeals to his sympathies and attempts to hold him emotionally.
