"The king in Louis Auchincloss' glittering novel is the Sun King, Louis XIV of France, whose fabled court at Versailles was the wonder of Europe; the cat is Louis' watchful chronicler, Louis de Rouvroy, second duc de Saint-Simon, author of the famous 'Memoirs' which are the definitive record of Louis' reign. Auchincloss has conceived his novel as an extension of the 'Memoirs,' in which Saint-Simon reveals his own story -- as well as a great deal about the private lives of the great and near-great that did not find its way into the published record."

"Louis Stanton Auchincloss was an American novelist, historian, and essayist. Among Auchincloss's best-known books are the multi-generational sagas The House of Five Talents, Portrait in Brownstone, and East Side Story. Other well-known novels include The Rector of Justin, the tale of a renowned headmaster of a school like Groton trying to deal with changing times, and The Embezzler, a look at white-collar crime. Auchincloss is known for his closely observed portraits of old New York and New England society." Good Reads
