Empire. Die neue Weltordnung.

Vidal's portrayal of political figures and history feels so vivid and nuanced. I wonder what motivated his choice to explore this theme so deeply in this novel.

The reflections on power and empire seem eerily prescient. I'm curious if others felt it offered insights into current political dynamics.

Vidal's use of multiple perspectives and timelines added layers to the story. Did that approach help or hinder the flow of history for anyone else?
