The book's main plot revolves around a love affair with a beautiful set of twins in post-war Paris. The narrative is a complex experimental work that explores themes of sexuality and is structured around a story of incest told through different perspectives and formats. Real-life figures such as Jean Cocteau and Tennessee Williams appear as characters alongside fictional ones. <p><strong>SYNOPSIS</strong></p><p>Gore Vidal again demonstrates in these seven stories that maturity of craftsmanship and individuality which has gained him an important place among writers.
