About the Author
Irving Wallace was born March 19, 1916 in Chicago, Illinois. He began writing for various magazines at age 15 and worked as a screenwriter for a number of Hollywood studios---Columbia, Fox, Warner Brothers, Universal, and MGM from 1950 to 1959, then he turned solely to writing books. His first mostrar mais major bestseller was The Chapman Report in 1960, a fictional account of a sexual research team's investigations of a wealthy Los Angeles suburb. Among other fictional works by Wallace are The Prize and The Word. His meticulously researched fiction often has the flavor of spicy journalism. A great deal of research goes into his novels, which cover a wide variety of subjects, from the presentation of the Nobel Prize to political scenarios. With their recurring dramatic confrontations, his novels lend themselves well to screenplay adaptation, and most of them have been filmed, including The Chapman Report and The Prize. Wallace has also compiled several nonfiction works with his family, including The People's Almanac and The Book of Lists, both of which have spawned sequels. Irving Wallace died June 29, 1990 in Los Angeles, California at the age of 74 from pancreatic cancer. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

O livro acaba com o julgamento de Dilman, que encapsula o julgamento à maturidade americana e capacidade de ultrapassar o estigma racista. Pelo caminho, acompanhamos a trama de todos os que rodeiam Dilman após a sua chegada à Sala Oval, desde os que o tentam manipular por interesses pessoais polÃticos, os que o tentam manipular por pertencerem à mesma minoria segregada e os que o tratam como inferior devido à pigmentação da sua pele. Com uma larga panóplia de personagens, de diferentes origens, raças e posições sociais, Wallace pinta um quadro social americano dos anos 60 suficientemente claro para qualquer um poder entender todas as pressões raciais e bélicas que se sentiam na altura.… (mais)
