Delancey's Way Tapa dura - 2000

Información de la editorial

An operatic, satirical romp through (high and low) Washington -- filled with politicos and pundits, divas and divine spirits -- by the greatly admired author of Time Remaining and the cult classic Mawrdew Czgowchwz ("Bravo, James McCourt, a literary countertenor, in the exacting tradition of Firbank and Nabokov" -- Susan Sontag).

It begins with Delancey, a reporter for the East Hampton Star, being questioned on what he knows about a plan to assassinate the President (lovingly referred to as POTUS). It introduces us to le tout de Washington: the socialite (and exiled eighties New York party girl) Anastasia Harrington (a.k.a. Bam-Bam), and her millionaire husband, Max; a senator obsessed with his porn-star boyfriend; the semi-retired transvestite ballerina Odette O'Doyle and the diva (operatic and otherwise) Vana Sprezza; and Delancey's new friend Ornette, a living antidote to the racism of our times who sympathizes with the sexually profligate POTUS.
