The Borgias

Post by Book Club Host » Mon Jul 30, 2012 11:09 am

Does anyone have any insight into the "Borgias" reference in Chapter Eleven, "Beyond the Dreams of the Borgias?" I know who the Borgias were but am curious about the cultural reference. What would "Beyond the Dreams of the Borgias" meant to a 1960's audience?
