About This Item
Andre Deutsch, Great Russell St, London - 1995 hardcover, 6½" x 9½", with dust jacket AS NEW book in AS NEW unclipped dust jacket Gore Vidal here turns his wit and elegant storytelling gifts to a candid memoir of his own first forty years of life. His childhood was spent in Washington, DC in the household of his grandfather, the blind senator from Oklahoma. Then came schooldays, the army, life as a literary wunderkind in London, Rome, Paris, and New York in the forties and fifties, sex in an age of promiscuity, and a campaign for Congress in 1960. Beautifully rendered anecdotes of the rich and famous are intermixed with meditations on writing, history, acting and politics. B&w photographs.
