No American writer in the 20th century has lived a life richer in incident, achievement and glittering association than Gore Vidal. A fiercely intelligent?critic of political and social hypocrisy, he is one of the most respected commentators on American history, politics and culture.Vidal has already explored his own life in Palimpsest and the general focus in this new book is on the latter half of his life. In particular, he relates the deaths of those closest to him, including his long-time companion, Howard Auster. But the book also ranges freely over his extraordinary life with his signature wit and literary elegance.
