<DIV><b>Fred Kaplan&rsquo;s insightful biography of the inimitable and brilliant Gore Vidal</b></div><DIV><BR>Few writers of recent memory have distinguished themselves in so many fields, and so consummately, as Gore Vidal. A prolific novelist, Vidal also wrote for film and theater, and became a classic essayist of his own time, delivering prescient analyses of American society, politics, and culture. Known for his rapier wit and intelligence, Vidal moved with ease among the cultural elite&mdash;his grandfather was a senator, he was intimate with the Kennedys, and one of his best friends was Tennessee Williams. For this definitive biography, Fred Kaplan was given access to Vidal&rsquo;s papers and letters. The result is an insightful and entertaining portrait of an exceptional and mercurial writer.</div>
