A great novelist and a great essayist. He’s unsurpassed in modern American literary criticism. Eat your heart out, Mr. Buckley, you couldn’t come close to “Burr” or “Lincoln.”
So...if I were to read ONE Gore Vidal book...which should it be?
RE: A great novelist and a great essayist.
Yep, but a mediocre logician.
Buckley wins debates on the merits. Gore simply emotes.
Unsurpassed? Hardly. And now he’s an old queen, lonely angry and abnormal.
Lincoln and Burr were, frankly awful. Can’t argue taste, as any theatre person will attest. What you can argue is prose and factual points of contention, and agenda.
Would that the real actors in these “texts” were still alive to refute the queer crap.
Correction, dead old queen. He being so unimportant, in view of obamaumao and the continuing leftist queer porn marxists running things... totally forgot he croaked. Good riddance.
