Only at the end, when Reagan is in the throes of Alzheimer’s, does he inhabit the great man’s now diminished point of view. In both instances he remained frustratingly inscrutable, a “deeply shallow man,” to quote one world leader’s oxymoronic assessment, who “seemed all at once very close and far away.” Mallon, an old hand at free indirect style, keeps his distance from this affable sphinx.
