Gore Vidal - Duluth Abacus, 1993 307 str. meki povez stanje: vrlo dobro Perhaps Vidal`s most outrageous novel, this is an indescribable fantasy purportedly set in the city of Duluth (which, however, is near the Mexican border) & involving a tv show also named `Duluth` (a parody of `Dallas`), 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 Fiction, Classics
