| Summary |
& Ldquo;When handling explosive objects, it is well to begin slowly and simply. So I'll first say that Robert Coover & rsquo;s The Public Burning is a long and fantastic fictional account of the events surrounding the executions for espionage of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1952, that virtually all the characters bear the names of historical personages, and that the principal narrator identifies himself as the then-Vice President of the United States, Richard Milhous Nixon. Already, no doubt, you hear an ominous ticking sound. ... This book is an extraordinary act of moral passion, a destructive device that will not easily be defused. & rdquo; & mdash; The New York Times Book Review. |
