   Extractions: From the Trade Paperback edition. Customer Reviews: Outstanding, relevant and necessary These particular selections of essays by the prolific and most caustic critics of the American Republic, has sat on my bookshelf since the early months of 1999. Included in this overwhelming collection are 114 essays, in some cases, randomly categorized into three chapters - State of Art, State of the Union and State of Being. Vidal is an intensely knowledgeable fellow, and therefore has an opinion on just about everything having to do with art, history, politics, the state of literature and his beloved Republic To attempt to read this entire tome (1271 pages) from start to finish over a few weeks (my original intention) proved to be impossible. Although informative and extremely entertaining, there was just too much to digest, too important to scan through, thus I would mark the essays read with a tick on the contents page, place the book back on the shelf, only to return when the time felt right to take them up again.

   Extractions: Gore (Eugene Luther) Vidal (1925-) - Original name Eugene Luther Vidal - Detective novels under the pseudonym Edgar Box Prolific American novelist, playwright, and essayist, one of the great stylists of contemporary American prose, who has been active in politics. Vidal made his debut as novelist with WILLIWAW at the age of 19, while still in US Army uniform. "One understands of course why the role of the individual in history is instinctively played down by a would-be egalitarian society. We are, quite naturally, afraid of being victimized by reckless adventurers. To avoid this we have created a myth of the ineluctable mass ('other-directedness') which governs all. Science, we are told, is not a matter of individual inquiry but of collective effort. Even the surface storminess of our elections disguises a fundamental indifference to human personality; if not this man, then that one; it's all the same, life will go on." (from 'Robert Graves and the Twelve Caesars', in

    Extractions: page: Two Sisters (1970) is, however, Vidal's most successful tour de force both in experimental point of view and in realistic representation of homosexual identity. A silly screenplay for an unmade film is the centerpiece of this work. There are again alternating first-person narrators from past and present who have very different perspectives on the nature of this curious piece of writing. The work is something of a Sponsor Message. sr_adspace_id = 3294807; sr_adspace_width = 300; sr_adspace_height = 250; sr_adspace_type = "graphic"; sr_ad_new_window = true; This self-projection is in the tradition of Somerset Maugham or Christopher Isherwood, but Vidal writes with much more forthrightness about his sexuality, thus taking the nonfiction novel to a new plane of self-revelation. He shows himself exploring sexual as well as artistic freedom in Europe away from the conservatism of America.

17. Creation (Gore Vidal) - Book Review
    Yee favourably reviews Gore Vidal s historical novel, which geographically spans most of the fifth century civilised world.  
    http://dannyreviews.com/h/Creation.html
    
    Extractions: Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Heinemann 1981 A book review by Danny Yee In 445 BC Cyrus Spitama, the Persian ambassador to Athens, hears Herodotus reading from his "Histories" and in response recounts to his nephew Democritus the story of his life. He has served three Persian kings and traveled to India and China; himself the grandson of Zoroaster, he has met Buddha, Gosala, Lao Tse and Confucius! This is the thesis of Creation , a historical novel which geographically spans most of the fifth century civilised world and intellectually engages with an immense range of ideas about the fundamental nature of creation. While it's probably impossible to avoid shallowness in presenting complex philosophical and religious systems in a novel, Vidal does a surprisingly good job of it: if you don't know anything about Buddhism or Confucianism or Taoism, then you could learn quite a bit about them from Creation . He's also careful to avoid any anachronistic traces of Christianity (although, in contrast with Buddhism and Confucianism, it could be argued that Zoroastrianism pretty much is Christianity), though I found the omission of a meeting with a Jewish religious figure a little surprising. Although religious and philosophical ideas are at the core of Creation Creation as a "superior airport novel", but I don't think that is a fair judgement unless readability is a sufficient criterion for calling something an airport novel!
