读Vidal的《林肯》已经是十四、五年前的事了,读过的遗憾是图书馆里只有一本他的著作……本书虽短,上“听”不大容易,最初的叙述有点跳跃,平庸的朗读者和糟糕的制作也是减分项。再听一遍感觉就好多了。封面上是前三位总统的标准像,实际主要讲的是华盛顿和亚当斯任期,主要人物在这三位之外当然还有汉密尔顿。Vidal肯定不能算是严谨的历史学家,但书中很有些隽语或是幽默值得品味。写华盛顿过世写得很克制,却催我泪下。不过最令我唏嘘的还是结尾那段JFK的感慨:"Maybe it was something in the water," he said helpfully. "I wish we had more of it, the water, that is."

One of the master stylists of American literature, Gore Vidal now provides us with his uniquely irreverent take on America's founding fathers, bringing them to life at key moments of decision in the birthing of our nation.
"Pure Vidal. . . . "Inventing a Nation" is his edgy tribute to the way we were before the fall."--"Los Angeles Times Book Review
""[Vidal offers] details that enliven and . . . reflections on the past that point sharply to today." --Richard Eder, "New York Times
""An engaging [and] . . . unblinking view of our national heroes by one who cherishes them, warts and all."--Edmund S. Morgan, "New York Review of Books
""[Vidal's] quick wit flickers over the canonical tale of our republic's founding, turning it into a dark and deliciously nuanced comedy of men, manners, and ideas."--Amanda Heller, "Boston Sunday Globe"
"This entertaining and enlightening reappraisal of the Founders is a must for buffs of American civilization and its discontents."--"Booklist
""Gore Vidal . . . still understands American history backwards and forwards as few writers ever have."--David Kipen, "National Public Radio"
