Description
Two Men of the WorldOne would be a candidate for sainthood. One would live in lonely grandeur.
Kenneth Marchal Toomey, eminent novelist, world-famous homosexual, is a man who outlives his contemporaries to survive into honored, bitter, luxurious old age as a celebrity of dubious notoriety. His brother-in-law, Don Carlo Companati, is a man of God, eventually the beloved Pope, who rises through the Vatican as a subtle negotiator and shrewd manipulator of Church revolution.
As each pursues his career, their relationship becomes the heart of a novel that includes everyone of fame and distinction in the social, literary, and political life of the twentieth century, joined together by the art of a great craftsman into an explosive tour de force. ISBN:0380569035
