Gore Vidal was one of America's greatest and most controversial
writers. The author of twenty-three novels, five plays, three
memoirs, numerous screenplays and short stories, and well over two
hundred essays, he received the National Book Award in 1993.In
1953, Vidal had already begun writing the works that would launch
him to the top ranks of American authors and intellectuals. But in
the wake of criticism for the scandalous content of his third
novel, The City and the Pillar, Vidal turned to writing crime
fiction under pseudonyms: three books as "Edgar Box" and one as
"Cameron Kay." The Edgar Box novels were subsequently republished
under his real name. The Cameron Kay never was.Lost for more than
60 years and overflowing with political and sexual intrigue,
Thieves Fall Out provides a delicious glimpse into the mind of Gore
Vidal in his formative years. By turns mischievous and deadly
serious, Vidal tells the story of a man caught up in events bigger
than he is, a down-on-his-luck American hired to smuggle an ancient
relic out of Cairo at a time when revolution is brewing and heads
are about to roll.One part Casablanca and one part
torn-from-the-headlines tabloid reportage, this novel also offers a
startling glimpse of Egypt in turmoil - written over half a century
ago, but as current as the news streaming from the streets of Cairo
today.
