- Summary:
- Two Sisters is Gore Vidal's fictional memoir of a love affair with a beautiful set of twins in post-war Paris--a story skilfully interwoven with notebooks, diaries & the vivid fragment of a screenplay set in ancient Greece. In seductive settings from a brothel in a Parisian backstreet to the rooftops of 70s Rome, Vidal assembles his characters, real & imagined: Cocteau & Tennessee Williams, Gide & Mailer rub shoulders with creations as unforgettable as the ageing femme fatale Marietta Donegal & Hollywood hustler & flagellant Murray Morris. All are bound together in a mesmerising fiction that builds to an extraordinary conclusion.
