Gore Vidal - in case you're interested
An interview with Gore Vidal from today's Observer. If you need an introduction: He partied with Isherwood, slept with Kerouac, dined with Auden, was related to the Kennedys, travelled with Tennessee Williams and befriended Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber ... And through it all Gore Vidal's ferocious wit ensured his standing as one of the greats of American letters. But now, at 81, a frailty is giving his fury an unexpected vulnerability.
