Point to Point Navigation

“Unmissable. . . . Wry. . . . [Vidal’s] wit remains by far this book's most alluring attribute.”

—Vogue

“Touchingly elegiac. . . . Even mortality and aging seem somehow less formidable in the company of such a witty, penetrating–and unfailingly nervy intelligence.”
—Francine Prose, O, The Oprah Magazine

From the Trade Paperback edition.
