What is Gore Vidal (Modern literature series) about?
A critical survey of Vidal's work, treating all of the novels, the short stories and plays as well.

A revealing biographical sketch is followed by an analysis of the Vidalian style, and then by an overall reassessment of the early successes and the later works.
