Howard Fast's 1987 New York Times bestseller, a tight political drama that remains just as relevant today as when it was first written Fast's 1987 novel The Dinner Party confronts issues including American intervention in Latin America and the AIDS epidemic. Often compared to a play, The Dinner Party takes place during a single day, culminating in a party hosted by Richard Cromwell, a US Senator whose wealthy entrepreneur father-in-law is building a controversial highway across Central America, though powerful government interests want the highway stopped stopped. International politics become deeply personal in this novel, and unfailingly serve as a commentary on contemporary politics.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author's estate.
