博客來Set in Texas, The Gay Place consists of three interlocking novels, each with a different protagonist--a member of the state legislature, the state’s junior senator, and the governor’s press secretary. The governor himself, Arthur Fenstemaker, a master politician, infinitely canny and seductive, remains the dominant figure throughout.
Billy Lee Brammer--who served on Lyndon Johnson’s staff--gives us here ＂the excitement of a political carnival: the sideshows, the freaks, and the ghoulish comedy atmosphere＂ (Saturday Review).
Originally published in 1961, The Gay Place is at once a cult classic and a major American novel.
