E L Doctorow writes, in Ragtime, that J P Morgan had 'sensed in [Henry] Fords achievement a lust for order as imperial as his own. This was the first sign given to him in some time that he might not be alone on the planet.'
How extraordinary to be able to write in that way about real historical figures. Gore Vidal does that very well also. To be honest, I'm just amazed that anyone can write fiction about anything.
