"Obviously the world was not what it seemed. Anything might be true of anybody."
I'd probably rate this 4 1/2 if I could. First book I've read by Vidal. Gorgeous sentences. Good story.

boring and so needlessly depressing. jim was such a dreadful protagonist. there was nothing particularly interesting about him or his quest. no flair, no pizazz, just doom and gloom.
