Gore Vidal (1925--2012) was an American writer and public intellectual known for his epigrammatic wit, erudition, and patrician manner Vidal was bisexual, and in his novels and essays interrogated the social and cultural sexual norms he perceived as driving American life Beyond literature, Vidal was heavily involved in politics He twice sought officeâ€"unsuccessfullyâ€"as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the US House of Representatives (for New York), and later in 1982 to the US Senate (for California) 216 pp.
