En 'La Institución Smithsoniana', Gore Vidal mezcla ficción y hechos históricos con su inconfundible sello. En un Viernes Santo de 1939, un joven prodigio matemático es convocado a la Institución Smithsoniana, donde se desarrolla un programa secreto para construir la bomba atómica. Vidal entrelaza personajes históricos como Abraham Lincoln, Charles Lindbergh y Albert Einstein, explorando temas de responsabilidad política y sacrificio personal en un contexto de física cuántica e historia estadounidense.

Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his cynical epigrammatic wit. His novels and essays criticized the social and sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. Vidal was heavily involved in politics, and unsuccessfully sought office twice as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the United States House of Representatives, and later in 1982 to the United States Senate.
