This book is in excellent like new condition. Light shelf wear hardly worth mentioning. Inside is clean and excellent. Hardcover with unclipped dustjacket. From Booklist: *Starred Review* As is evident in Pandaemonium (1997), a powerful novel of Hollywood and the Holocaust, and the nervy Ice Fire Water (1999), Epstein is a master of complex narrative strategies. But here he strives for maximum lucidity and unbroken enthrallment as he portrays one talented but troubled Hollywood family through the eyes of the elder son, Richard, who becomes a famous artist. His director father, Norman Jacobi, wittily mocks the HUAC during his televised hearing; his mother, Lotte, is beautiful and a bit of a loose cannon; and his strange little brother, Barton, is given to fits and visions, serving as a trickster figure, the fool who reveals the truth. The boys are looked after by the family's African American employees, the stoic Arthur and Mary, and many of this absorbing novel's most galvanizing scenes involve Richard's awakening to the more insidious aspects of racism, anti-Semitism, and political expediency. And sex, of course, which for Richard is complicated given its entwinement with his art. As Epstein makes the leap from the 1950s to the present in this cinematically vivid and deeply humanistic inquiry into the perpetual interplay of illusion and reality, he muses eloquently on the profound impact childhood memories have on both art and life.
