Twilight at the World of Tomorrow
A gripping, true-life drama about a forgotten episode of the nation’s past—a fatal bombing at the New York World’s Fair on the Fourth of July—while bringing to life one of the most fascinating periods in 20th-century American history.
“W.W. II twinkles darkly in James Mauro’s beautiful Twilight at the World of Tomorrow.”
Vanity Fair, June 2010
“Recounting the exposition’s wonders and woes, Mauro spices his story with tales of visiting presidents, kings, queens, politicians, sports heroes and movie stars…. A delightful time capsule, skillfully unpacked.”
Kirkus Reviews (starred)
“James Mauro has given us a fascinating snapshot of a poignant time, a world on the brink, filled with both hope and sorrow.”
Kevin Baker, author of Striver’s Row, Paradise Alley, and Dreamland.
