Gay Fiction
Condition: Very Good Short ink inscription on pre-title page and pages foxed but spine unbroken and apparently unread. Plot / Content: "Here is a collection of seven superbly crafted stories by the celebrated author of Myra Breckinridge, each executed with the narrative power and subtle understatement for which Gore Vidal is famous. Whethre hinting at the materialistic, decadent world of young and older men in Paris, or the politely vicious machinations of Southern US society, the needle-pointed accuracy of his perception is devastating." (from the cover) The stories do not all have gay themes. Background / Biography: Wikipedia entry this may have some bias Reviews: "Gore Vidal has a sharp eye for experience; failing which, to me, no amount of 'style' is worth the trouble." The Observer "He neither bores us with too much detail or tantalises us with too little ... ranges from the madly funny to the really horrific" Daily Telegraph "Distinguished and versatile" Times Literary Supplement (from the cover) Clicking on advertiser links on this site may allow these companies to gather and use information about your visit to this and other websites to provide you with advertisements about goods and services presumed to be of interest to you. |
Quote from this book "I arrived in Key West a few days ago with enough money to last me a week, although this time I have gone more slowly than usual, with a greater attention to detail, ignoring the young, concentrating my attention on the older men, the ones with loose, dimpled figures and bad teeth. Watching these men, talking to them, I find it hard to believe that in other days they had made fortunes , created families and often as not done noble deeds, for with us they have neither shame nor virtue. Naturally it has occurred to me that they might be wise and still not care and then again there's the possibility that they enjoy their own degradation; if that's true, I pity them, and the game's more sinister than one might at first suppose.
