R.I.P. Gore.

I hired Gore Vidal to give a lecture at my college in 1984, and was very impressed with his intellect, wit, and interesting outlooks on society and life.

Quote:

Gore Vidal, the elegant, acerbic all-around man of letters who presided with a certain relish over what he declared to be the end of American civilization, died on Tuesday at his home in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles, where he moved in 2003, after years of living in Ravello, Italy. He was 86.

Mr. Vidal was, at the end of his life, an Augustan figure who believed himself to be the last of a breed, and he was probably right. Few American writers have been more versatile or gotten more mileage from their talent. He published some 25 novels, two memoirs and several volumes of stylish, magisterial essays. He also wrote plays, television dramas and screenplays. For a while he was even a contract writer at MGM. And he could always be counted on for a spur-of-the-moment aphorism, putdown or sharply worded critique of American foreign policy.

Perhaps more than any other American writer except Norman Mailer or Truman Capote, Mr. Vidal took great pleasure in being a public figure. He twice ran for office ? in 1960, when he was the Democratic Congressional candidate for the 29th District in upstate New York, and in 1982, when he campaigned in California for a seat in the Senate ? and though he lost both times, he often conducted himself as a sort of unelected shadow president. He once said, ?There is not one human problem that could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.?

NY Times Obit for Gore Vidal

His legacy will live on in his books.

RIP Gore Vidal

RIP to one of my favorite writers ever. I just finished reading Creation for the second time, what an amazing book.

Some of his best works:

Creation
Julian
Burr

I've read several others but those are by far my 3 favorites.

billywatson · 08-02-2012, 11:10 AM

Much respect and admiration.

On a fun side note, wasn't there a rumor floating around that he blew Jack Kerouac?

mikesouth · 08-02-2012, 11:12 AM

His bit on monotheism is pure genius

if you havent read it you should, no matter what your religion or lack thereof

He was definitely gay.

Mutt · 08-02-2012, 11:28 AM

fuck he was arrogant and pompous in a very regally gay way BUT i loved watching him on TV talk shows, brilliant man with a gift for both the written and spoken word. i think we'd be better off just picking a 'board of directors' to run countries - brilliant open minded people, from different walks of life, no politicians.

He would not want to be bound to labels. He had relationship with both men and women, and he was proud of that. He was pansexual, if this wasn't a narrow label too.

For what is worth, he was in many ways a rode model for me as a younger man. RIP
