In his seven narratives of the American empire - (1) Burr, (2) Lincoln, and (3) 1876, (4) Empire, (5) Hollywood, (6) Washington, D.C. and (7) The Golden Age - he has created a fictional portrait of our nation from its founding that is unmatched in our literature for its scope, intimacy, political intelligence, and eloquence.
