Novelist & essayist

Gore Vidal

Wrote historical novels, screenplays and some of the best essays in American English, and conducted public feuds with almost every other writer of his generation.

Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his cynical epigrammatic wit. His novels and essays criticized the social and sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. Vidal was heavily involved in politics, and unsuccessfully sought office twice as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the United States House of Representatives, and later in 1982 to the United States Senate.
