RICK CASTRO SHOOTING GORE VIDAL 2003

 GORE VIDAL

 (October 3, 1925 – July 31, 2012) 

was an American writer and public intellectual known for his patrician manner, 

epigrammatic wit, and polished style of writing.

 Vidal thought all men and women are potentially bisexual.

As a novelist, Vidal explored the nature of corruption in public and private life. 

His polished and erudite style of narration readily evoked the time and place of his stories, and perceptively delineated the psychology of his characters.

 His third novel, The City and the Pillar (1948), offended the literary, political, and moral sensibilities of conservative book reviewers, centering the plot around a dispassionately presented male homosexual relationship.

In social satire, Myra Breckinridge (1968) explores the mutability of gender role and sexual orientation as being social constructs established by social mores.
