Lincoln
by Edgar Box
'Vidal is a masterly American Historical Novelist... who found his truest subject... No biographer, and until now no novelist, has had the precision of imagination to show us a plausible and human Lincoln, of us and yet beyond us. Vidal, with this book, does just that, and more: he gives us the tragedy of American Political history, with its most authentic tragic hero at the center, which is to say, at our center.' - Harold Bloom

Erickson, Steve
Poseidon Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket 1993. First Edition. Hardcover. Near new condition. Wear is very light - no markings. From Publishers Weekly: Erickson, who has attracted a strong following with his three novels (the most recent was Tours of the Black Clock ) and the memoir Leap Year , has now written his most provocative novel yet, an apocalyptic narrative in which he yokes his grim vision of America to the exalted vision of Thomas Jefferson. The story opens in Paris, where Jefferson is serving as the new country's ambassador to France. The protagonist, however, is not the master of Monticello but Sally Hemings, the slave and concubine he has brought with him... ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .

Synopsis: "Happiness is a dark thing to pursue ... and the pursuit is a dark thing as well." These are the words of Erickson's Thomas, inventor of the American dream and guiding spirit of this passionate, brave, unforgettable novel. in Thomas' love for his fourteen-year-old slave, Sally, and in her irrevocable choice to forfeit her freedom for that love, lies the emblematic dilemma that has forged a nation's destiny --- the tension between history's denial of the dictates of the human heart and our secret pursuit of the heart's expression. Over, Arc d'X, hovers the smoke of an 18th century slave who was burned at the stake for murdering a white man who raped her. Through the ashes move the many incarnations of Sally, and the men who are touched by her --- Etcher, perched on the mouth of a volcano on the outskirts of a strange theocratic city, who is literally rewriting history; a washed-up, middle-aged American novelist waiting in the city of Berlin in the year 1999 for the end of time, while a small guerrilla army rebuilds the Wall in the middle of the night. Arc d'X is a reckless, visionary elegy for the second millennium and a literary bridge to the third, where the feeling is at once heightened and debased, language drained of significance but filled with portent, meaning tensed at the intersection of desire and conscience, male and female, black and white. It is the novel that has been looming at the end of the American imagination, where the center of the soul meets the blunt future on the street. This was Steve Erickson's 5th work.
