For Jim Sain, the eccentric, controversial, and frequently naked mayor of Berkeley, California, life is never dull-and that's just the way he likes it. In this, the final installment of his mR. bERZERKELEY trilogy, Jack McLaughlin wraps up his love song to the other city by the bay.

Mayor Sain has a lot on his mind these days. He's in Virginia City, involved in a murder trial; the accused is Asia, his half-sister, and she has been charged with their father's murder. Jim's an up-and-coming reality television star whose rise to fame and (possible) fortune is the talk of Hamilton House....

Ask anyone: Jim Sain is a pompous, naked, free thinker. He's also the mayor of Berkeley.

One of his high school chums has moved back to renovate Hamilton House, one wacky adventure at a time, and who knows what's coming next? The mayor has been dubbed "mR. bERZERKELEY" by a cartoonist who is determined to embarrass him (and undermine his bid for reelection). His personal life is as colorful as his political life. He gives his detractors plenty of fodder to fuel his demise (but in his eyes, these are not signs of moral weakness).

This book, a National Book Award nominee in 1988, is the life of Thomas Jefferson as seen through the prism of his love affair with Monticello. For over half a century, it was his consuming passion, his most serious amusement. With a sure command of sources and skilled intuitive understanding of Jefferson, McLaughlin crafts and uncommon portrait of builder and building alike. En route he tells us much about life in Virginia; about Monticello's craftsmen and how they worked their materials; about slavery, class, and family; and, above all, about the multiplicity of domestic concerns that...

When nature exudes in a swamp in Louisiana it is rich, tropical, juicy, dark, verminy, repellant and lovely all in one, - wrote Catharine Cole in 1889. -It is like a coffin crowned with flowers; a death trap baited with roses.-
