4.0 out of 5 stars Vidal triumphs with "Empire", April 4, 2004
By 
"avidsoccer1" (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empire. (Hardcover)
Vidal, excellently uses the medium of historical fiction to skillfully craft his view of American Society at the turn of the century (and perhaps with further reaching implications). Centering around the life of Caroline Sanford-the descendant of Aaron Burr-a soon to be wealthy heiress. Sanford, along with her half-brother Blaise become fascniated with the publishing industry, and both become newspaper owners. On a higher plane, the novel deals with the complex interaction between the historical movers and shakers of the time: McKinley, Roosevelt, Willian Randolph Hearst, and Secretary of State John Hay. The book forces one to think about issues prevalent in society today, and who really does create everyday events.
