You’ll find Gore Vidal’s sharp eye, subtle ear and big brain at full
strength in The Smithsonian Institution. The year is 1939, and a
shy, genius of a teenager is summoned to the Smithsonian. A few hundred pages
later, cloning, the sexual habits of people in a diorama, the atom bomb and more
will be bubbling round your brain. Brilliant. Published by Little, Brown,
£16.99, ISBN 0316645044.
