I saw Assange had Gore Vidals book in his hands when being arrested, so I thought I would learn more about GV and his plays and view on politics.

Gore was the last of a great generation of writers and critics...Mailer, Capote, Baldwin, et al...all that is gone now; the present crop of writers seem to have very little to say. I wonder why.

A brilliant documentary. Are you intending to put the second episode on? You have impeccable taste- 'Frasier' and Gore Vidal.

How clever of you to notice what Vidal was not hiding; but apply that acuity to your syntax.

Sylvester, he didn't have a twin. He was an only child. He might have referred to Jimmy Trimble as his twin. He was a boy Gore was best friends with in prep school. He died in WW II.

This guy is as bona fide as it gets. I’ve read one novel of his, Death Likes It Hit. Filet Mignon. Efficient. Witty. I’m pretty conservative and I think his Bush denunciations were imbalanced, but just the best writer.
