On May 2, 1519 at the Clos Luc in Amboise, Leonardo is dying. He no longer cares about art or science. He wants only to answer a simple question about his life: why did he abandon his colossal equestrian statue in Milan? Meanwhile, R-, a 20th century historian writing a novel about Leonardo, meditates upon the same question in the midst of an apocalyptic traffic jam, as military helicopters fill the air with tear gas, AIDS demonstrators run amok, and a hospital evacuates its patients onto a nearby sidewalk. Berry's stupendous novel is a fitting response to the close of a century obsessed with the "end of history." This book is a big masterpiece of a kind rarely dared in the contemporary novel.

Leonardo's Horse
Well, I learned a little bit about how Switzerland was able to remain neutral in World War II...after all, it was surrounded by axis powers and remained relatively unscathed. This is a story that fits that piece of history, and also connects the temporary cease fire between Nazi Germany and Russia on the eastern front in 1942. There's a lot of running around, trying to prevent the wrong hands from getting a bit of information in this (what I thought to be) underdeveloped historical fiction book between an American, a Swiss mother and son, three generations of Russians, and some power-hungry Germans. It's a lot to digest, but the meal wasn't cooked well enough.
