Reeve thinks his life is over. His career is at a dead end, his face is a mess, and his landlord is evicting him from his apartment because he made too much noise when a hustler beat him up. As he lies in his hospital bed, figuring our what to do next, he finds himself brooding about the parallel ruin of his old college mentor Tom Slater, a famous American literary scholar who was betrayed and driven to suicide during the McCarthy era.
Sixty-two year old Reeve lies in a hospital bed - the result of a vicious beating. As he convalesces, he constructshistory for the reader, not just for the lives of himself and his mentor, Tom Slater, but of the fifty years of America and the gay experience. This award-winning first novel is now back in print to illuminate a world which for many years has never been known, and yet for some, will never be forgotten.

Hardback. Etat : Good. At each step of this journey through American cultural history, Louis Menand has an original point to make: he explains the real significance of William James's nervous breakdown, and of the anti-Semitism in T. S. Eliot's writing. He reveals the reasons for the remarkable commercial successes of William Shawn's New Yorker and William Paley's CBS. He uncovers the connection between Larry Flynt's Hustler and Jerry Falwell's evangelism, between the atom bomb and the Scholastic Aptitude Test. He locates the importance of Richard Wright, Norman Mailer, Pauline Kael, Christopher Lasch, and Rolling Stone magazine. And he lends an ear to Al Gore in the White House as the Starr Report is finally presented to the public. Like his critically acclaimed bestseller, The Metaphysical Club, American Studies is intellectual and cultural history at its best: game and detached, with a strong curiosity about the political underpinnings of ideas and about the reasons successful ideas insinuate themselves into the culture at large. From one of our leading thinkers and critics, known both for his sly wit and reportorial high-jinks and] clarity and rigor (The Nation), these essays are incisive, surprising, and impossible to put down.
