RIP Gore Vidal 12 Years, 11 Months ago
One of the great American heroes - and writers (Myra Breckenridge and Myron are both marvellous); a gay icon; a strange but witty man (I met him; read my autobiog) - aged 86. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Yep, another great one gone, R.I.P. Tho Gore had long-gone retired to his ancestral arty Italy when the post-Lurve generation, U.S.-Fraud Market scrawl was on the wall. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

He moved back from Italy WholeTruth when his long time partner died.

I watched a youtube interview with him from 2009. At 83 he was still a commander of the English language with a brilliant mind and an amazing insight into how the US democracy has been corrupted.

I too like Myra Breckinbridge, even the film which was panned. Kalki was terrific as well.
