MEMOIRS OF HECATE COUNTY - Edmund Wilson
























This is a collection of short stories, rather then a novel as it is touted, narrated by an anonymous person. The writing is fantastic, very readable, the stories "ramble"  a bit and could have done with some editing.  A good read but not the great read some blurbs have it as.

I'm thinking its fame owes a bit to one story that is quite explicit sexually for the late 1940's rather than great stories.

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
